"Norway welcomes and supports the statement by U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, reaffirming the U.S. stance against Russia’s illegal annexation of Crimea. International law must be upheld, and Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity must be respected," the Norwegian Foreign Ministry wrote on Twitter on July 26.
