Ukraine’s fate is Europe’s fate. We’re here to see how we can step up our efforts. No one should have any doubt: our support will not falter.

Allies must act as allies. We must respect each other's sovereignty. Europeans do not share the same vision as the Americans on various issues. This is natural. What we cannot accept is the threat of interference in Europe’s democratic life.

In his comments about the #NSS, @RKiesewetter is right on many points In addition, the NSS entails active #US fight against the #EU policies it deems erroneous & help to those European governments sharing US views on #Ukraine & #Russia. This is plain interference in EU affairs.
Die National Security Strategy der Trump-Administration ist da. Wer das Dokument liest, muss verstehen: Die USA haben sich nicht nur vom "Weltpolizisten" verabschiedet, sondern die Umbrüche sind tiefergehend. Die USA interessieren sich nicht mehr für Europa. Mehr noch: Diese

Days after the release of the #US #NationalSecurityStrategy, perfect alignment between PM #Orban and President #Trump. As if #Hungary had already moved outside the #EuropeanUnion.
🕊️@PM_ViktorOrban: Yes, we are preparing for a post-war world. I am negotiating with the Americans on economic cooperation after the war, and with the Russians on how Hungary can benefit when sanctions are lifted and normal economic relations return.

Today @elonmusk tried again to chastise #Europe for being un-democratic ! He got a detailed reply from @SLagodinsky, @GreensEFA European Parliamentarian for #Berlin #Brandenburg. 👍
Happy to lend a hand, @elonmusk, in your EU self-education journey. First-hand experience here , so here’s how democracy actually works: 1. EU laws? Made by elected parliamentarians - members of @Europarl_EN + all 27 democratic governments of EU. Think: House + Senate, but

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius: For almost four years, war has once again returned to Europe. The key to peace lies above all in Moscow. But there is no willingness there. Putin stages himself as someone who wants peace, but he is not serious. With every supposedly new

The new #US #NationalSecurityStrategy matches all we heard since Nov 2024: #AmericaFirst. It adds an extra dose of hostility to the #EU and a clear will to undo its political & economic mechanism. Results: #EuropeanCouncil challenged #Hungary comforted #Russia satisfied.

Pope #LeoXIV’s visit to #Turkey is his first international trip since his election last May. The agenda comprises many religious topics. Hopefully, Leo XIV will have the opportunity to raise other issues of international relevance such as the state of the country’s #RuleOfLaw.
Pope Leo XIV reflects on his upcoming Apostolic Visit to Türkiye and Lebanon, calling them two countries “rich in history and spirituality.” https://t.co/X5G0uTs5mq

#RondPointSchuman in #Brussels is the heart of the #EU district. It is currently undergoing its umpteenth renovation. Hopefully, someone knows where all these cables lead and someone else is in charge of invigilating them at night.

A Daily in #Turkey (English version) is stressing that President #Trump strongly supports #Hungary’s Prime Minister #Orban dissent from #EU sanctions on #Russia. This has a name: #US interference in EU internal affairs. No surprise here.
Trump praises Hungary’s Viktor Orban at White House, urging EU leaders to “respect this leader very, very strongly,” as he weighs Budapest’s request for exemption from Russian energy sanctions https://t.co/m0T58dBbHL

Important piece by @gonultol on #Turkey’s strategic indispensability and the price for #European leaders of forgetting the drastic decline in the country’s #RuleOfLaw
Another grim day for the rule of law in Turkey. Journalists are now being summoned for questioning simply for sharing posts in support of Erdoğan’s jailed rival, Ekrem İmamoğlu. I’m sharing my New York Times piece, which argues that the West’s eagerness to do business with
