Grateful to join @lrt.bsky.social & discuss #US cut of military aid to #Lithuania, changing #US global force posture, how this plays in the hands of #Russia, & what can be done abt it. I made clear that #Lithuania must brace itself & prepare for the worst, incl. reduction of US troops in #Europe
Europe didn’t see that war in UKR is Europe’s war, & relied on US

US didn’t see that war in UKR is US war, & relied on RUS deescalation

Europe & US didn’t want military victory against RUS, only the sustainment of UKR

Now Europeans are preparing for a bigger war with RUS & a trade war with US
A must-watch on #EC thinking abt #EU #defence in lockstep with #NATO

As first 800bn takes up, so should the forthcoming defence surges of 1.5T

Important if #Ukraine was part of it, with #sky of #Ukraine as priority, alongside #EU #civil #defence & #preparedness

As a European citizen & taxpayer, I welcome the first European defence surge of 800bn +

I also hold that it is only JUST & FAIR that Russian state & citizens pay for the consequences of the war

190bn frozen assets must go to #Ukraine
As the #European & #NATO leaders gather in #London for the #UkraineSummit, I connect with #DW from beautiful #Jönköping in #Sweden to highlight that Europe+Ukraine have agency & must create leverage in its bargain with #Trump & #Putin
Britain hosts summit to end war in Ukraine - Zelenskyy demands security guarantees | DW News
Britain is preparing to host European leaders at a summit aimed at finding a common position on ending Russia's war against Ukraine. Ahead of the meeting, Prime Minister Keir Starmer hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Downing Street - and pledged nearly three billion dollars to buy military equipment. Amid Trump's threat to cut US support, European leaders are reaffirming their support for Ukraine as they navigate a new transatlantic era.

I speak to #AFP / #FRANCE24 about #Europe's leverage & #Trump

"Trump is bargaining big time. The Europeans should identify areas which the US must complement & also present them as conditional, for example on security guarantees if there are bilateral European troops, there must also be US troops"
