EU resilience isn’t weird- the EU adds scale, size and power to member states’. The EU is a haven of rules-based cooperation in a world of chaos and conflict. « The weird resilience of the EU »via @FT giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

We need to be ready to win the wars of tomorrow: to adapt - very quickly, to ramp up production - immediately. We need to be smarter & quicker than our adversaries. SMEs & startups can help if we ‘boost’ them with speedy support - the proposed #AGILE programme is exactly that!

When we strengthen European defence capabilities as EU Member States, we strengthen at the same time capabilities of NATO. Strong European pillar of NATO is also beneficial for our Transatlantic relations. #europe20xx Conference in Berlin 🇩🇪⬇️ 📹 audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/media/video…

Getting ready for the missile tour! Today I hosted a roundtable of European defence industry representatives. The industry is readying to ramp-up, indicating bottlenecks & importance of long term contracts. 🇺🇦 heroes in the front can not wait, we need to deliver super fast!

Happy Birthday, Lithuania! 🇱🇹 Long live freedom, democracy and independence! We declared it in 1918, we regained it 1990, and that’s for ever! That is not only a celebration, that is also - a promise!

Thank you @EnricoLetta for important discussion on building European Defence Union. Defence readiness starts with material readiness, but does not end here. We need political & institutional readiness. Defence industry fragmentation is economic & national security issue.

"We need to see strategic shifts in American geopolitical thinking," EU Defense Commissioner @KubiliusA told us in the #POLITICOPub at #MSC2026. As the U.S. looks to shift more of their attention to deterring China, "we [Europe] need to accept that rationally," he said.
