Russia has unleashed yet another night of terror against the people of Ukraine. 
Missiles and attack drones have killed and injured civilians and destroyed critical infrastructure. 
Norway condemns Russia’s illegal war. War crimes must not go unpunished. We #StandWithUkraine

He recibido con profunda consternación la noticia del trágico accidente ferroviario en Toledo. Mis pensamientos acompañan a los heridos, a los seres queridos de las víctimas, así como a los servicios de emergencia. Expreso mi solidaridad con España en este momento de dolor.

Spoke with President of Finland @alexstubb and Prime Minister of Norway @jonasgahrstore following their call today with the Russian leader and as a continuation of our discussions in Oslo with representatives of America, Europe, and NATO. I am grateful for the detailed briefing and for their active support for our diplomacy and the peace efforts we are pursuing together with all our partners. Alex and Jonas made it clear to the Russian leader that real de-escalatory steps are needed regarding our energy and infrastructure. We discussed preparations for the trilateral meeting planned for November at the team level – Ukrainian, American, and Russian. Finland and Norway, as countries that border Russia, have a particular interest in sound and reliable security arrangements. We also discussed various formats for our engagement with partners in Europe that could be useful in further supporting diplomacy, our defense, and our shared security. There must be peace, de-escalation is needed, and Russia must stop dragging out the war. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine!
