🇳🇴🇫🇷 Norway and France agree on military support to Ukraine 🇺🇦 Norway and France have signed a new agreement to provide Ukraine with key capabilities in surveillance, situational awareness, and air-to-ground weapons. As a first step, Norway will contribute approximately NOK 4.2 billion, while France will guarantee a loan of around NOK 3 billion. The support includes the acquisition of flexible glide bombs from the French defence industry – weapons that Ukraine already operates and has requested. “The projects reflect Ukraine’s most pressing priorities and will deliver rapid effect,” said Minister of Defence @toreosa.

For me, the sacrifice of the people depicted on the helmet means more than any medal ever could - because they gave the most precious thing they had. And simple respect toward them is exactly what I want to give.

On Monday at his meeting with President Zelensky: Will Trump confirm that he is Putin's obedient servant or will he show any independent US action?

The main impression of the Trump-Putin meeting is that Trump is subservient to Putin. Putin offered no ceasefire & as expected Trump ignored that he had promised "severe consequences" in that case. God help Zelensky when he faces Putin's servant in the White House!
