Igor Klimenko: Norway clearly understands our needs and is ready to help in strategic directions
“Protection of critical infrastructure and border security was discussed in Vilnius with the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Justice and Public Security of the Kingdom of Norway, Even Erikson. The distance between our capitals is more than 2300 km. But Norway clearly understands our needs and is ready to help in strategic directions. Especially since she herself feels threatened by the Russian Federation. This is the work of enemy spies, and Russian troops are stationed on the common border in the Arctic,” the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Igor Klymenko wrote in his Telegram channel.
Primarily, the Ukrainian experience of strengthening control at state borders was discussed. For better coordination, we initiated a separate meeting of the leadership of the border guards of Norway with the Head of the State Border Service of Ukraine Sergey Dainek.
The stability of the Ukrainian energy infrastructure, the security of the state in the autumn-winter period, humanitarian demining were also in the focus of our attention. We have agreements that will strengthen our capabilities.
Separately, we talked about the possibilities of treatment and rehabilitation of our fighters. Mr. Erickson assured that Norwegian hospitals are open to help Ukrainian soldiers. And our hospitals can count on new modern equipment from colleagues from Norway.
“Our struggle continues. And we are not alone in it. Thanks to our partners, Ukraine is getting stronger every day,” the Minister said.
