NATO will #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 for as long as it takes

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

I thank Germany for the largest military aid package since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion.

German air defense systems, artillery, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles are saving Ukrainian lives and bringing us closer to victory.

Germany is a reliable ally! Together we are bringing peace closer!

Today, the United States announced critical new support for Ukraine as it continues to bravely defend its people, its territorial integrity, and its independence against Russia’s aggression. We stand #UnitedWithUkraine.

South Korean-built K2 tanks arriving in Poland is just the beginning. South Korean industry arming NATO is a terrifying prospect for Russia. https://t.co/rVpzF2U3j0

“A defeated Russia is not in China’s interest.”

@LianaFix and @mkimmage warn that China may not be willing to stay indefinitely on the sidelines of the war in Ukraine.

Gazprom is increasing gas supplies to China and expects soon to reach the maximum planned level, highlighting Beijing’s importance as Russia’s top export market in the face of Western sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. https://t.co/jGUCiaumJh
