According to the Head of State, the Ukrainian experience has already become important for the allies.
"Not only does Ukraine need Europe's support. All the countries represented here and in our other coalitions also need Ukraine. This is true and it matters. Everyone is interested in Ukraine's experience, in what we can do, and in how we are deterring Russian aggression,"
At the same time, he noted that within NATO structures, there are still restrictions on cooperation.
"Too often, particularly within NATO structures, our representatives feel that there is a limit to what is possible in our cooperation. This limits both us and you. Let us integrate more at every level of our defense cooperation, in our structures and in the Alliance, so that both we and you have more opportunities to protect lives,"
