In such a situation it’s only natural that I as President of the Storting express our solidarity with the Ukrainian authorities, the Ukrainian people and Ukraine’s democratically elected national assembly,” said Mr Gharahkhani. The Storting and the Verkhovna Rada have worked together closely for several years to support the development of democracy in Ukraine. “In my meetings with Ukrainian politicians, I have made sure to ask what the biggest contribution we as MPs can make when the war is over. The work to reinforce Ukraine’s democratic robustness continues,” continued Mr Gharahkhani.
