"Russia has an interest in capturing not only Ukraine - it is a threat to the whole of Europe," he said. He also added that the US is interested in addressing the issue, and Ukraine has a plan how to stop Russia.

"Together we can destroy the aggressor," the minister said.

He said that the information component is extremely important in Ukraine's war against the aggressor. Therefore, he is grateful to his colleagues and old friends from these organisations for their consistent support and advocacy of Ukraine."
