🚨🚨Given current situation and with the sharply deteriorating situation in #trumpland, I think it is unwise, imprudent and just a very bad idea for the EU to go ahead with plans to grant #US border authorities unprecedented access to Europeans’ data. 🧵

W #NATO head Rutte in #Kyiv, #Zelensky says #Russia must face consequences over overnight attack

Licenses are needed so Europe can protect itself, e.g. missiles crucial for air defense systems

Essential that “Europeans would be ready to do if Russia will attack us again & what Americans will do”

Mark Rutte:

During my visit to Kyiv today I saw a civilian heating plant targeted by Russian missiles.

No military value whatsoever - attacks meant only to make people suffer.

But Ukraine stands strong. And NATO stands with you.
