She also visited VG’s team during the exam. She desperately wanted to help share a video of the Melidopol bombing in the Zaporizhia area, which was posted on Facebook by one of the family’s neighbors.

Russia Melidopol was said to have been abducted on SaturdayBut the British Ministry of Defense has raised doubts over the allegations.

That is why there is war now

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is about land, power and security policy – but not about history, identity and international law.
Russia and Ukraine were formerly part of the Soviet Union, which was dissolved in 1991. Since then, there have been domestic disagreements over foreign and security policy in Ukraine.
On the one hand, there are those who want to join the European Union and NATO. On the other hand, those who want to keep in touch with Russia.
Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to prevent Ukraine from becoming closer to the West. One of his demands was that Ukraine not become a member of NATO.
Ukraine’s non-membership in NATO is the reason why the coalition did not provide military support to Russia during its current invasion.

For Christensen, he has many people who care about this particular area, and the news coming from there has an impact:

– It’s so scary, my family is hurt, they’re so scared, Christensen continues.

According to her, it is important to be ahead of Saturday’s starting.

– Irina Christensen says we are proud of our president and we trust him.

He mentions Volodymyr Zhelensky, who in recent days has been coming to the Ukrainian people from the streets of the capital Kiev with frequent video updates:

– Thank you to everyone who stands up for the country of Ukraine, said the Ukrainian Ambassador to Norway Jatzyuk Vyatsjeslov during the celebration.

– But today we must say it like it is: in Ukraine now much-needed military support. The Ukrainians are the toughest and bravest warriors on earth, but they are fighting against a huge force, he continued.

Several high-ranking Norwegian politicians, including former Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Søreide (H), were among those who appealed during the election.

– There is no way to justify what is happening now. Nevertheless, there are voices in Norway who say they need to understand Putin first. This is not the time to understand, but to condemn, he said.
