SecGen Stoltenberg warns that supporting Ukraine now is more important than holding back weapons for #NATO ’s own defence.

“If Allies face a choice between meeting NATO capability targets and providing more aid to Ukraine, my message is clear. Send more to Ukraine.”

We condemn Iran’s overnight escalation, call for restraint, and are monitoring developments closely. It is vital that the conflict in the Middle East does not spiral out of control.

We unequivocally condemn the attacks targeting concertgoers in Moscow. Nothing can justify such heinous crimes. Our deepest condolences to the victims and their families.

Putin’s Ukraine war has cost Russia over 350,000 dead and injured troops, #NATO SecGen Stoltenberg says at a press event with President Andrzej Duda

After Hungary today cleared the path for Sweden's NATO membership, Jens Stoltenberg tells CNN that “it makes NATO stronger, Sweden safer and all of us more secure. It also sends a very clear message to Putin that NATO's door is open.” t.ly/evCdu

I welcome the Hungarian parliament’s vote to ratify #Sweden ’s membership in NATO. Now that all Allies have approved, Sweden will become the 32nd #NATO Ally. Sweden’s membership will make us all stronger and safer.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how to dismantle Russian propaganda lies: calmly, politely, and decisively.

Thank you, Radek Sikorski
