In Kyiv today, I met with Ukraine’s Minister of Defense @rustem_umerov for our second in-person meeting this week. Following productive discussions with Minister Umerov at the NATO Defense Ministerial, I reaffirmed again today that we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Ukraine. pic.twitter.com/XbY3msGXQv
