#WeAreNATO | #1NATO75years

I’m in Kyiv to raise the alarm to the democratic world - we must make sure Ukraine wins this war.

The UK has stepped up to do more than ever, with our largest military support package to date. Every nation must now do the same and ensure freedom triumphs over tyranny.

A warm welcome to Sweden, the 32nd member of NATO

Sweden’s accession makes NATO stronger and Sweden safer.

#WeAreNATO

🇸🇪 Välkommen till NATO, Sverige 🇸🇪Welcome to NATO, Sweden 🇸🇪

Today, Sweden became the 32nd member of NATO

This historic moment makes the Alliance stronger and further assures European security.

Yesterday at #NATO , Rt Hon Grant Shapps MP joined Kajsa Ollongren to sign the 🇬🇧🇳🇱 Joint Vision Statement on Defence Cooperation.

With this statement, 🇬🇧&🇳🇱 commit to further strategic, tactical & operational cooperation. Together we can face current and future challenges. #strongertogether

As I told allies today we must spend more, donate more & produce more to aid Ukraine.

The UK has stepped up with our largest package ever, because we know if we don’t the results would be unimaginable.

The world’s dictators are watching and the West must not show any weakness.

Great cooperation between Royal Marines & Netherlands Marine Corps and Navy in the Netherlands. Same Education & Training, same SOP’s. #UKNL Amphibious Forces.

Door de samenwerking tussen Saab en @Damen krijgt Nederland de beschikking over de beste technologie.

Hiermee kunnen wij zelf bouwen en onderhouden in ons land. Zo blijven we in Nederland autonoom over onze veiligheid.

Wereldwijd inzetbaar. In Nederland gebouwd. 🇳🇱

Astute-class submarines are always one step ahead and utilise the latest technology to dominate the waters 🌊.

The quietest submarines ever constructed, they can circumnavigate the globe completely submerged, and can produce their own oxygen and drinking water.
