To talk about the ongoing situation in the war-torn country TVP World spoke with Hanna Malyar, Ukrainian Deputy Defense Minister.

According to the minister, the Russian full-scale invasion strengthened cooperation between Ukraine and other European countries. “We could see that the threat coming from the Russian Federation is bigger,” she said.

“Today this partnership is very strong. I can’t publicly share the specific details of our work together, but Ukraine is getting stronger every day in all areas with the support of the European countries,” Malyar added.
