Today is 1 year since my appointment as #DefMin of 🇺🇦.
During this year, my enemy has not changed:it’s russia - an aggressor&a terrorist state.
But I made a lot of friends in 🇺🇦& abroad.
I’ll do my best for a tribunal for russian war criminals.
But in first 𝐖𝐄 𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐋 𝐖𝐈𝐍!

Grateful to my 🇳🇱 collegue
Kajsa Ollongren @DefensieMin for the new defence support package worth €120 million, a part of which is a joint project with 🇺🇲 and 🇨🇿 to provide 90 T-72 tanks for #UAarmy.
Ukraine highly appreciates your support!
🇺🇦🤝🏻🇳🇱

Sanctions against the russian regime are working - something that is becoming more and more evident from observing small details. For example, during the 8-month full-scale war, the world has realized that there is a shortage of toilet bowls in russia.

Look who’s here!
NASAMS and Aspide air defence systems arrived in Ukraine!
These weapons will significantly strengthen #UAarmy and will make our skies safer.
We will continue to shoot down the enemy targets attacking us.
Thank you to our partners: Norway, Spain and the US.

Finally, the authors of the modern russian military glossary humbly put out a new word - “left" - with regard to Kherson. Instead of "radical reduction of military activity", "goodwill gesture", "regrouping".
It's time to update it with the words "retreat" and "escape".

russia’s war vs Ukraine has demonstrated many things to the world.
Tragically,it has shown that genocide and state-sponsored terrorism haven’t been eradicated. But it has also shown that dignity still exists, that bravery has not disappeared & that there is still hope for justice

Good news from Bali: @JustinTrudeau announced that Canada will provide Ukraine with CAD 500 million of aid, which includes military equipment.
This will help us to continue liberating 🇺🇦 lands.
I appreciate @AnitaAnandMP support for #UAarmy

Výtis is sharing his armor with us!
Thank you to Lithuania and to my colleague @a_anusauskas for the recent batch of 12 units of M113 (10 units of 120 mm self-propelled mortars and 2 units of fire control tanks).
This will help #UAarmy in future offensive operations.

⚡️ 73 out of more than 90 CRUISE MISSILES shot down! As well as 10 enemy kamikaze drones!
Glory to the Air Forces of Ukraine! You are the best of the best! Everyone in Ukraine is grateful to you! Everything will be Ukraine 🇺🇦

We need to strengthen 🇺🇦 air&missile defence:
❗Increase the number of IRIS-T and NASAMS.
❗Receive HAWK and Crotale in sufficient quantities.
❗Pass and implement the decision on SAMP-T.
❗Receive reconnaissance and combat UAVs + drone defence.

Our soldiers are defending the front, but additional support is needed. We need to:
Increase the quantity of artillery;
Ensure stable supplies of ammo;
Form and supply battle-ready reserves.
We must be ready to mount an active defense and amass reserves for the winter.

Poland. This is not a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is the reality we've been warning about. We were asking to close the sky, because sky has no borders. Not for 🇷🇺 uncontrolled missiles. Not for the threat they carry for our EU&NATO neighbours. Gloves are off. Time to win.
397
🇵🇱,as well as our neighbors 🇸🇰,🇭🇺,🇷🇴&🇲🇩 are our friends.We support thorough investigation of yesterday's tragic incident by our 🇵🇱partners & would welcome its results at today's Ramstein’s meeting.🇺🇦is the shield of EU&we jointly have to protect ourselves from the terrorist state

Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament joined their 🇺🇦🇱🇻🇪🇪🇵🇱+PACE colleagues and recognized the current russian regime as a terrorist one.
Step by step.
Truth will win.
Peace in Europe will be restored.
russian war criminals will be punished.
