The UK will always stand with Ukraine. Welcome back to Downing Street, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / ะะพะปะพะดะธะผะธั ะะตะปะตะฝััะบะธะน.




Secure at home, strong abroad. To the Royal Marines here in Rotterdam and all those who protect us around the world โ thank you for your service.


Thereโs no security without strong defences. And no defence without a strong defence industry. So we must unite, innovate and deliver. Watch Mark Rutte's full speech at the #NATOsummit Defence Industry Forum โ

The UK has always supported NATOโs nuclear mission, keeping people across the alliance safe. The UK will purchase 12 F-35A jets, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The decision will support 20,000 jobs in the UK, with 15% of the global supply chain for the jets based in ๐ฌ๐ง

Yesterday, on day 1 of the #NATOsummit, PM Keir Starmer visited the ๐ณ๐ฑ Koninklijke Marine base in Rotterdam where Royal Marines & @KorpsMariniers work side by side. ๐ฌ๐ง & ๐ณ๐ฑ are key allies cooperating on the most pressing global issues of the day like European security & supporting ๐บ๐ฆ.


Very good meeting between ๐ณ๐ฑ Caspar Veldkamp Veldcamp & ๐ฌ๐ง Foreign Secretary David Lammy in the margins of the #NATOSummit today. The commitment to close cooperation on security, foreign policy & specifically Ukraine remains as strong as ever between the #NorthSeaNeighbours

NATO is growing stronger, fairer and more lethal with the UK at its centre. Together with Keir Starmer and John Healey in The Hague, weโre stepping up for our collective security, keeping Britain safe at home and strong abroad.




At the end of an important #NATOsummit, our unity and resolve is clear. #NATO Allies stand ready, willing and able to face any challengeโฆ And keep our one billion people safe! ๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ง๐ช๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ฆ๐ญ๐ท๐จ๐ฟ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ช๐ช๐ซ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ท๐ฉ๐ช๐ฌ๐ท๐ญ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฎ๐น๐ฑ๐ป๐ฑ๐น๐ฑ๐บ๐ฒ๐ช๐ณ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด๐ต๐ฑ๐ต๐น๐ท๐ด๐ธ๐ฐ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ช๐ธ๐ธ๐ช๐น๐ท๐ฌ๐ง๐บ๐ธ
