Projects for military support of Ukraine, which the Netherlands in particular are involved in, are global processes, and it is difficult to imagine their cancellation, Ilarion Pavliuk, head of the press and information department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, said.

“Russia’s actions in the Black Sea threaten the entire free world,” Umerov said, speaking at a meeting of the Council of Defense Ministers of South-Eastern Europe in Ankara.

The Minister of Defense called on partners to continue joint coordinated actions to continue the work of the tank training coalitions, the aviation coalition to train Ukrainian pilots on the F-16, the IT coalition and the mine clearance coalition. He also congratulated the Republic of Moldova on joining the Council of Defense Ministers of South-Eastern Europe.

As noted by the Ukrainian Defense Ministry, all participants in the meeting expressed support for Ukraine in opposing the war of aggression and condemned the actions of the Russian Federation.
