We all agree that we need a true shift in how Europe thinks and acts on defence.

Including a precise, pan-European plan.

Today we discussed Europe's 2030 Readiness roadmap, with clear milestones & objectives.

Because only what gets measured gets done.

Russia is causing tremendous damage in Ukraine.
It is not right that anybody else should pay for it.

At today’s European Council, we will discuss a reparations loan, backed up by frozen Russian assets, to help Ukraine defend itself.

A strong Ukraine is our first line of defence.

This is why we must step up our military support.

Today we are disbursing €4 billion for Ukraine.

And as agreed with them, half will be dedicated to drones.
