On the eve of the #NATOSummit I had a 📞 call with my friend @SecDef Lloyd Austin III. He reaffirmed strong support of the @NATO of Ukraine struggle for freedom & independence. We also discussed another package of military aid to 🇺🇦 from the Alliance member states. To be continue

Inspiring to have @ZelenskyyUa at the #NATOSummit today. We stand in solidarity with Ukraine’s fight for freedom and self-determination. Now is the time to double down and ensure Ukraine defeats Russia so President Zelenskyy can negotiate from a position of strength.

Ich freue mich sehr über den anstehenden @NATO-Beitritt von Schweden und Finnland. Beim #NATOSummit in Madrid treffen wir wichtige Weichenstellungen für die Sicherheit Europas und der Welt – auch als Antwort auf Putins Aggression gegen die Ukraine.

Great to be with Finland and Sweden colleagues @Haavisto @AnnLinde tonight to mark news they are joining @NATO.
We need a strong, united NATO to deter aggressors in an increasingly geopolitical world. 🇬🇧🇸🇪🇫🇮 #NATOSummit #WeAreNATO

Wir haben beim #NATOSummit viel erreicht: Ein neues #StrategicConcept, die richtige Reaktion auf Russlands Aggression und künftig zwei neue Mitglieder.
30, bald 32 Partner, die für Frieden, Freiheit und Sicherheit eng zusammenstehen – das macht für mich die @NATO aus.

“The United States is rallying the world to stand with #Ukraine …Secretary Austin just brought together more than 50 countries pledging new commitments, this is a global effort to support Ukraine...we intend to announce..more HIMARS.” @POTUS @CNN #NATOSummit now

At the #NATOSummit in Madrid this week we must not only ensure @NATO remains the cornerstone of Europe’s defence but also has the resources to adopt a more global role, tackling the threats we face including from an increasingly assertive China.

The Transatlantic Quad foreign ministers 🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 met at #NATOSummit to discuss how we build a more modern, global and stronger alliance that:
➡️ Supports Ukraine with more military aid
➡️ Stops Putin weaponising hunger
➡️ Keeps pressure on Russia with sanctions

This #NATOSummit was a success: we agreed on a new #StrategicConcept, which is the right response to Russia's aggression, and invited 2 new members. 30, soon to be 32 partners, closely united for peace, freedom and security. To me, that's the essence of @NATO.

Russian attacks on Kyiv (on a kindergarten and civilian apartment building, kids injured) is yet another sign that Russia will follow no Laws of War/LOAC/IHL and that their precision guided munitions supply is in despair, runout. It is past time for @NATO to do more. #NATOSummit twitter.com/DefenceU/statu…
