There were those who urged us to stop working on the UNGA draft resolution “Support for lasting peace in Ukraine”. I said, “No, no steps back”. Because we have a lot of countries who support us.

Then, different partners proposed the text of resolution to us without two words: “Russian aggression”. I said, “No, this is Russian aggression”. If we don’t include that, people will forget it in two or three years.

The resolution received the support of 107 countries, and we are grateful to each of them, although projections had put the number at around 80 votes, not more.

We can’t let people and countries forget that in reality this is aggression against peaceful people.

Norwegian NASAMS systems helped us a lot. I will not share the exact number of NASAMS we have, but it is more than ten and we are still getting them. We have also received missiles for NASAMS made by Norway. However, even domestic Norwegian stocks weren’t enough. And then Norway worked with other countries at the political level to provide us with some additional missiles. This was very important.

In parallel, we were working on joint production and IRIS-T systems. And then it was like a rising wave: when one country stepped up, other real allies, like Norway, followed. That was very good. This winter, Norway also helped us with gas which we needed after Russian attacks on our energy sector, including gas infrastructure.

And the people of Norway support these decisions. All parties in Parliament support them as well. Thank you. All countries have their own internal politics, but the unity in the Norwegian Parliament on Ukraine is crucial and we appreciate it.

All of these things, as well as the work on drones that we started and the fact that Norway is second-largest contributor to PURL, are deeply valued in Ukraine.
