@vonderleyen Moments like this show why coordination among allies matters. A shared commitment is the strongest message Ukraine can receive right now.

A strong display of unity for Ukraine today in Paris at the Coalition of the Willing leaders meeting from EU Member States, NATO allies and friends of Ukraine. Our joint statement sends a clear message. We collectively stand by Ukraine and a safe, secure prosperous future lies ahead. link.europa.eu/ddM37j

@Lithuanian_MoD @LTU_Army @NATO @LitdelNATO @LithuaniaInEU @NATOpress @LTembassyDE @LRsusisiekimas @LithuaniaMFA @LTSeimasForeign Big milestone for Lithuania. Getting the Leopard 2 A8s earlier will make a real difference for regional security, and the local assembly is a huge plus for defence industry growth. Exciting to see this moving so fast.

🇱🇹 Lithuania is soon getting its own Leopard tanks. Today we signed a new deal to speed up delivery: all Leopard 2 A8s will arrive by 2030, with the first locally assembled tank rolling out in early 2028 – a major boost for @LTU_Army and regional security.

@NXT4EU Huge step for Poland’s energy future. Nuclear isn’t just about clean power, it’s about long-term stability and independence. Excited to see this project finally moving forward.

🇵🇱 - Construction of Poland's first Nuclear Power plant is set to begin after the EU approved €14bn in funding for the project. The plant has an electricity generation capacity of 3 750 MW and showcases the way the EU helps Poland forward!

@NATO Great to see Allies training together like this-exercises like these quietly do the heavy lifting for collective security. Always reassuring to know the skies are in good hands.

Allied air and ground teams from 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇹🇷 Türkiye, and 🇺🇸 United States trained together over Italy to boost air defence ✈️ The exercise strengthened NATO’s ability to work as one by operating a deployable radar system and keeping our skies secure 🌐

@EU_Commission @Europarl_EN @EUCouncil Energy security and climate action working hand in hand, this is the direction Europe needs.

Ending the era of Russian fossil fuels for good. Securing Europe’s energy independence. We welcome the agreement between @Europarl_EN and @EUCouncil on a permanent phase-out of Russian gas and move towards the phase-out of oil by 2027. United for a cleaner and safer Europe ↓

@NXT4EU Interesting concept that would further boost European capabilities and matters of sovereignty. More research is needed, however, to understand what the system’s reach and capabilities would be.

the Netherlands is pushing for a European Space early warning system which would detect Missiles entering European airspace. 🇪🇺

@UKDefJournal The development of Laser systems are a very much relevant especially in the line of drone defense. Our organisation recently published a paper on the practicality of Laser systems on the modern day battlefield.

🇬🇧 The UK’s DragonFire laser has shot down high-speed drones in new trials, with above-the-horizon tracking and pinpoint accuracy at a kilometre. A £316m contract now pushes the system toward a Type 45 destroyer by 2027.

Europe’s dual-use tech strategy is shifting, from defence-led to civilian-driven. But funding gaps & fragmentation leave SMEs stuck in a “valley of death.” This paper calls for smarter coordination & innovation pathways in an omni-use world.

@vonderleyen Great to see the EU pushing forward with such an ambitious target 👏 A 90% emissions cut by 2040 is a big move, now it’s all about turning that goal into real action on the ground.

As a crucial COP30 takes place in Belém, Europe shows climate action and competitiveness go hand in hand. Parliament's vote on our proposal to reduce carbon emissions by 90% by 2040 is a very welcome development. And a major step on our path to climate neutrality by 2050.

@NXT4EU Joint intelligence is crucial for the EU to detect, anticipate, and respond to growing hybrid threats. Sharing knowledge across borders strengthens our overall resilience.

The EU is about to create a European Intelligence Service! 🇪🇺 Rivalling the CIA and Mossad, we will have a unit that will protect the European Civilisation from external and internal threats. Europa will thrive.

@DefenceHQ @RAF_Regiment This is what allied interoperability is about. we need to continue assisting each other in facing these growing hybrid threats.

This weekend, the Defence Secretary has agreed to deploy a specialist counter-drone unit from the @RAF_Regiment to Belgium after a surge in unauthorised drone incidents. Working with NATO allies, we stand ready to counter hybrid threats & keep skies safe.

⚡ Europe’s defence runs on outdated energy. Dependence on unstable fuels & weak refining capacity leaves militaries exposed. This paper calls for microgrids, micro-reactors, & energy-dense batteries to power the future fight. finabel.org/operational-en…

@NATO @NATO_ACT Collaboration across nations and industries will ensure we can respond faster and stronger to build the foundation of a safer Europe.

📈 We are boosting defence production, but we need to be ready to produce more, faster, and together for a safer and more prosperous future for us all #NIF25 | @NATO_ACT

@NATO_MARCOM @SHAPE_NATO @NATO @MFATurkiye @SpainNATO @ItalyatNATO @JFC_Naples @GreeceNATO The success of #NUSRET2025 highlights how close coordination and shared expertise among Allies strengthen collective defense and ensure secure sea lines.

@SavchenkoReview Germany’s plan to introduce voluntary military service by 2026 reflects a valuable step toward strengthening European defense readiness and interoperability through voluntary engagement. #EuropeanDefence #Interoperability #Bundeswehr

🇩🇪 Germany’s Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said he’s confident the government will agree on a new voluntary military service in time for it to start in 2026, - Reuters The plan aims to boost troop numbers amid security concerns over Russia, with a goal of growing the Bundeswehr from 180,000 to 260,000 soldiers by the 2030s. Pistorius rejected a proposed draft lottery, insisting young people must be persuaded, not forced, to serve.

@jurgen_nauditt Underlines how essential it is for the EU to accelerate joint efforts toward building a multi-layered drone defence system.

Drones have been spotted over Belgian military bases – searching for ways to spy on F-16 fighter jets, ammunition, and classified information, according to the Defense Minister. The drones aren't simply flying over the bases; they are searching in a targeted manner and hovering over a specific location for extended periods. A jamming device deployed was ineffective. 🫣🫣🫣 "They are trying to find out where our F-16s are. It's an attempt to obtain important data," said Franken.

@visegrad24 The transportation of heavy equipment and logistics remains the backbone of any military operation. These initiatives reflect Europe’s commitment to adopting a more ready and responsive defense posture.

🇪🇺 The European Commission will unveil a plan in November to rapidly move heavy military equipment across the EU in case of war with Russia. The initiative aims to speed up the transport of tanks and artillery by improving infrastructure and simplifying customs procedures between member states. The plan is being developed in coordination with NATO amid growing concerns over potential Russian military aggression beyond Ukraine.

Quantum computing, powered by qubits, can tackle problems classical computers can’t, from molecular simulation to predictive analytics. Europe invests heavily, but must address fragmentation, talent retention, and supply chain challenges. 🔗finabel.org/optimisation-s…

PNT and sensing are key for modern warfare, but GPS-denied areas, sensor drift, and stealth tech pose challenges. But Quantum sensors can offer hyper-accurate solutions to these issues. Europe must secure talent and supply chains! new research out :🔗finabel.org/hyper-accurate…

Scientists have long warned about climate change, pollution, and biodiversity loss. These crises heighten security risks, and while the EU has made soft-law progress, binding measures are needed for a unified climate, security, and defence agenda. 🔗finabel.org/the-silent-glo…
