Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmytro Kuleba said this at an online briefing….

He noted that the January decisions on weapons indicate a new Euro-Atlantic consensus of partners….A vivid embodiment of this rule is the formation of an international tank coalition which already includes 12 participants, Kuleba noted.
