Honoured by #NATO Allies' decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024. The transatlantic bond between Europe & North America has ensured our freedom & security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever.

On #Ukraine’s independence day I pay tribute to the brave Ukrainian women & men fighting for their freedom & their country. #NATO has supported Ukraine since its independence & you can continue to count on NATO for as long as it takes. Ukraine will prevail!

Sham referendums have no legitimacy & do not change the nature of #Russia’s war of aggression against #Ukraine. This is a further escalation in Putin’s war. The international community must condemn this blatant violation of international law & step up support for Ukraine.

I have convened an extraordinary Summit on 24 March at #NATO HQ. We will address #Russia’s invasion of #Ukraine, our strong support for Ukraine, and further strengthening NATO’s deterrence & defence. At this critical time, North America & Europe must continue to stand together.

Allies took key decisions at a critical moment for our security. We agreed a package to strengthen #Ukraine & provide a clear path towards #NATO. We also approved our most comprehensive defence plans since the Cold War, backed by an enduring commitment to invest more in defence.

#NATO stands in solidarity with our valued Ally #Montenegro, as it takes measures to protect its sovereignty and democracy faced with #Russia’s spying and other destabilizing malign activities. The Western Balkans are of strategic importance for our Alliance & we remain vigilant.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Over more than 70 years, she exemplified selfless leadership and public service. My deepest condolences to the Royal Family, to our #NATO Allies the United Kingdom and Canada, and to the people of the Commonwealth.

#NATO Defence Ministers met at a critical moment in #Russia’s war on #Ukraine. We agreed to step up support for Kyiv, with air defence as a priority. We will also continue to strengthen Allied deterrence & defence, boost stockpiles, & step up critical infrastructure protection.

Closely monitoring forcible landing in #Belarus of flight to Vilnius & reported detention of opposition figure Roman Protasevich. This is a serious & dangerous incident which requires international investigation. Belarus must ensure safe return of crew & all passengers.

I welcome the 1st shipment of Ukrainian grain from Odesa under the -brokered deal. I thank our Ally #Türkiye for its pivotal role. #NATO Allies strongly support the full implementation of the deal to ease the global food crisis caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.

I welcome the strong message from the #UNGA clearly condemning #Russia’s illegal annexation of Ukrainian territories & calling for the reversal of these illegal acts. The overwhelming majority demonstrates that Russia is isolated. #NATO stands united & in solidarity with Ukraine.

A rainbow over #NATO, as the flags of all 30 Allies are at half-mast in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a strong supporter of our transatlantic Alliance, our armed forces & our values. I will always remember her wisdom and her warmth.
