- Ukraine prevails! Itβs in Europe's interest to integrate battle-tested πΊπ¦industrial&defence capabilities. Ukraine's EU membership can move ahead by building a European Defence Union with Ukraine. UK, Norway can be closely associated. @VisegradInsight #URC2026
- Integration of πͺπΊ & πΊπ¦ defence industries is very much needed for the EU & for Ukraine. Such integration is a strategic move towards the full integration of UA. πͺπΊ instruments to support it - USL, BravetechEU, EDF, EDIP, SAFE, EDPCIs, where πͺπΊ & πΊπ¦ industries can work together!
- A strong Eastern Flank is in the vital interest of the entire European Union. Threats are real! Ready to act together to counter them and further support Ukraine πΊπ¦. With EU πͺπΊ support on all levels, with β¬150 billion of #SAFE loans.
- Andrius Kubilius repostedThe courage of Ukraine's armed forces has shifted the momentum on the battlefield. The tide is turning. And the resolve of the Ukrainian people has shown to the world that their European choice cannot be broken. Ukraine will prevail, grow, prosper β
- π‘οΈ Another milestone for #EUDefence and Eastern Flank security. Lithuania π±πΉ has received β¬956.3M (15%) of its β¬3.5B allocation under the #SAFE instrument. This will support faster key defence investments and capability upgrades. π link.europa.eu/8X6vBw
