Watched «Slava Ukraini» by a great philosopher and a friend of Ukraine @BHL for the second time. This time at the premiere in Kyiv. Still deeply impressed. The world needs to know the truth about the russian aggression. Thank you for telling it, my friend!

I was really touched by this performance.
My Estonian colleague and friend @HPevkur is singing "Brothers Ukrainians", the anthem of Ukrainian defense forces, together with @shablyalife
Indeed, Ukrainians and Estonians are brothers.
Today, we are brothers in arms.
🇺🇦🤝🇪🇪

russian tanks, which have been destroyed by 🇺🇦 soldiers, are being exhibited in Riga, Tallinn, and Vilnius. It's a symbol: more destroyed 🇷🇺 tanks - less threats to Europe.
I thank my colleagues @IMurniece @HPevkur @a_anusauskas for their sincere support and effective cooperation
81
I was glad to host my 🇪🇪 colleague&friend @HPevkur in Kyiv.

For years, russians have been writing «to Berlin» on their cars & tanks. On this grim anniversary, a destroyed russian tank is displayed in front of their Embassy in Berlin - a symbol of their failure.
Thanks to the 🇩🇪 people & to my colleague Boris Pistorius for supporting 🇺🇦!
88
Tonight, 4 russian tanks “invaded”the EU&NATO.
But thanks to #UAarmy there is a nuance.
On Feb 24, citizens of 4 countries - Germany, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - will simultaneously see that russian tanks can get to Europe through Ukraine only as museum exhibits or trophies
89
The meeting of @ZelenskyyUa and @POTUS in Kyiv was a historical moment. Two Presidents consolidated their efforts to ensure Ukraine's victory and peace in Europe. I thanked @POTUS for the opportunity to work with my Incredible and great colleague @SecDef Lloyd Austin III.

I am grateful to all the countries participating in #Ramstein and to the North Atlantic Alliance for supporting Ukraine.
Tomorrow's schedule will be full. We will spend more time discussing tanks.
Glory to Ukraine!

It was an honor for me to be invited and to participate in the #DefMin session at the North Atlantic Council. Europe is a unified space that cannot be secure without Ukraine. The key message from our partners: there will be help & support for Ukraine until our victory
96
Had a meeting with 🇧🇪 #DefMin @DedonderLudivin .We discussed the prospects for further cooperation between 🇺🇦 & 🇧🇪, strengthening our demining capabilities, including — marine. Belgium has significant experience in this direction. Thank you to Belgium & 🇧🇪 people for your support

Met with NATO SG @jensstoltenberg
Thanked him for his consistent support of Ukraine.
NATO declared russia the most significant and direct threat.
While our soldiers defend peace in Europe, Ukraine has de facto joined NATO. I am doing my best to make it happen de jure.

#Ramstein 9 has begun.
It’s going to be a very productive day.
Will share the details with you after we finish.
