Putin senses weakness — from the US and from Europe. He will bomb civilians until Ukraine runs out of missile defences. If he believes he can win, why would he stop?. We must arm Ukraine to the teeth: to defend civilians, to stop Putin’s advance, and to force real negotiations.
Firefighting efforts and debris removal are still ongoing after another Russian strike. This was one of the most large-scale air attacks – deliberately massive and cynical. In total, 550 targets were launched, including at least 330 Russian-Iranian “shaheds”, along with missiles,

Last week in Paris, I sat down with @Grand_Continent to discuss the security challenges that Europe is facing — and what we must do in response.

For months I have been asking EU leaders to cut through the jungle of ESG rules and attract more private capital to European defence. Today, the @EUCouncil made clear that defence is in line with ESG. Our defence sector is open for business. My message: Invest, invest, invest!.
In order to boost the EU's defence readiness by 2030, EU leaders stressed the need to:.- continue to increase expenditure.- work together and aggregate demand.- strengthen the EU defence technological and industrial base.- scale up production. →

Mens verdens øjne hviler på Ukraine og Mellemøsten, rykker Taiwan tættere på et farligt vendepunkt. Europa må ikke tøve, men stå skulder med skulder med demokratier - også i Asien.

NATO’s new 5% target is not to appease Donald Trump — it is because Vladimir Putin could invade a NATO ally within five years. Spain’s political games will undermine European unity. They may buy Prime Minister Sánchez time at home, but the real winner will be Putin.

Very sad to hear of the passing of former Canadian foreign minister and astronaut Marc Garneau. He was a thoughtful and principled voice—something I saw at this year’s Copenhagen Democracy Summit and on our Global Space Council. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
