Norway deplores the sentencing of the three Russian lawyers Alexei Liptser, Vadim Kobzev & Igor Sergunin who provided legal services to late opposition politician Alexei Navalny. The independence of lawyers must be protected. Defending political dissidents is not a crime.

Today's elections in Belarus were neither free nor fair. Continued repressions create a climate of fear. Norway stands with the Belarusian people in their quest for democratic rights.

Another heinous attack by Russia on the historic city centre of Odesa. A complete disregard for the safety of civilians. We condemn Russia’s illegal war of aggression and stand with the brave citizens of Odesa.

State Secretary in the MFA Eivind Vad Petersson presented NO’s perspective on recent security situation. One of the key @Poland25EU priorities is the transatlantic cooperation. Therefore we decided to organize the conversation in the EU+G7 format. Frank and very timely discussion!

I welcome today’s announcement that the US will restore military & intelligence assistance to Ukraine. I also welcome the joint Ukrainian-US proposal for an interim ceasefire. The ball is in Russia’s court. The coming days will reveal if Russia is ready for peace.

Norway's support to Ukraine is an investment in our common security. We will continue to back Ukraine’s sovereignty and freedom. Ukraine must be in the best possible position when negotiations start—and must, of course, have a seat at the table.

We strongly condemn Russia’s horrific attacks across Ukraine in recent days. Strikes on residential areas in Kryvyi Rih and Kharkiv follow a deeply disturbing pattern of targeting populated areas. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected.

Last night’s massive and brutal Russian strikes have killed and wounded civilians throughout Ukraine, particularly in Kyiv. This attack lays bare Russia’s ruthless way of warfare. Norway stands firmly united with our partners in our support for Ukraine’s fight for freedom.

I welcome the long awaited release of Belarusian democracy movement leader Siarhei Tsikhanouski. I commend those who have worked for his release. Norway calls for the unconditional release of all political prisoners.
