"Germany five times participated in NATO's Air Policing Mission in the Baltic Skies, which sets an excellent example of allied solidarity," he said.

 

Talking about the situation in Ukraine, the officials stressed the importance of the international community's joint actions in providing humanitarian, economic and other assistance to this country.
