Iceland’s Parliament adopts resolution on long-term support for Ukraine
Iceland's Parliament approves long-term support for Ukraine 2024-2028. The proposal aims to support Ukraine's independence, sovereignty, borders, civilian safety, humanitarian aid, and reconstruction work amid the ongoing Russian invasion.
On 29 April, Iceland’s Alþingi (Parliament) overwhelmingly approved a resolution on the country’s long-term support for Ukraine 2024-2028, put forward by the Icelandic Minister of Foreign Affairs, Þórdís Gylfadóttir. This was reported by Iceland’s Foreign Ministry.
“The international legal system, on which our security and standard of living are based, is threatened by Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine. We must therefore contribute to the defense of Ukraine in a decisive and concrete way,” the Foreign Minister commented welcoming Alþingi’s decision. “With the proposal and the corresponding commitment in the budget plan, a strong foundation is laid for our targeted support to Ukraine.”
