Today marks a grim milestone.
For three years, Russia has brutally attacked Ukraine, trying to steal land that isn’t theirs.
Right now, more than ever, we have to support Ukraine.
My doorstep ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council ↓
We did all we could to prevent Russia’s invasion, but we could not give up #Ukraine’s right to be free. Ukraine’s future is their own, but it’s also in our hands. We must do all we can to support those who give all every day. Volodymyr, President @ZelenskyyUa my friend, Slava 🇺🇦
As we mark 3 years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it is vital that we push even harder for a just and lasting peace.
European allies are ready and willing to do their part - including with robust security guarantees and more financial assistance
Good to be back in Kyiv, capital of free #Ukraine 🇺🇦 For 3 yrs Moscow has inflicted death & destruction, but has failed to achieve its war aims. As paths to enduring peace are explored #NATO will continue to back Ukraine in its fight, with Europe ramping up support.
#NATO Allies discussed what more we can do to provide critical ammunition and air defences for #Ukraine.
We must do more than just keep #Ukraine in the fight.
We must provide enough support to change the trajectory of this conflict.

Congratulations to former Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Defence of North Macedonia Radmila @Sekerinska on her appointment as the next Deputy Secretary General of NATO! As SecGen Mark Rutte highlights she is a true believer in #NATO & will be a great asset to our Alliance.
1,000 days of Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine.
Each day is one too many.
Yet through every hardship, Ukrainians have shown unparalleled bravery and resilience. Europe's support for Ukraine is unwavering. We will continue to help Ukraine and rebuild its future
1000 days ago, the longest day began for Ukrainians: on February 24, 2022, russia launched an open and full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
It feels like that day has never truly ended. We go to bed with one set of news and wake up to another. Day after day, we fight, defend our cities. We take back what is ours. We bring our people back home. We provide support.
Over these 1000 days, 12 Survivor Relief Centres — both stationary and mobile — have opened across Ukraine, ensuring that everyone in need receives help.
These 1000 days have tested our strength, but showed our resilience, unity and determination. Slava Ukraini!
It will be my privilege to serve as NATO Deputy Secretary General under the leadership of @SecGenNATO. I am committed to working with all Allies towards an even stronger and safer Alliance.

Today Ukraine marks its Independence Day.
More than 900 days have passed since Russia’s full scale invasion.
Until Russia’s guns fall silent, we won’t be silent.

Fully behind the Ukraine Compact endorsed in the margins of the NATO Summit
24 countries & the EU reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine’s freedom, security and sovereignty.
We will support Ukraine’s defence & deterrence against the Russian aggression now and in the future ↓

NATO was funded 75 years ago to deter the aggressive Russia in the disguise of the Soviet Union. We won the first time and we have to win now. Russia is agressive again, she has broken the international law. Putin should not benefit from his act of aggression and it is our business to help Ukraine.
| @NATO Summit panel discussion “European security transformed”
Allies made important decisions at #NATOSummit to bring Ukraine closer to NATO.
Ukraine's future is in NATO. NATO’s new role to coordinate security assistance and training and the financial commitment to support Ukraine are practical preparations for Ukraine’s NATO membership 1/
Important NATO-Ukraine Council meeting with @ZelenskyyUa on the agenda at #NATOSummit today.
Ukraine is on an irreversible path to NATO membership and our support for Ukraine is long-term.
Also looking forward to meeting with our Indo-Pacific Partners and the European Union.
.@benedettabertiw: There are different paths for our future.
One is where Ukraine prevails as a sovereign country, she tells @ACGlobalChina’s @DaveShullman at the #NATOPublicForum.
That’s a world in which there is a powerful lesson sent to China, North Korea, Iran, and Russia.
