If 🇪🇺will face Russian aggression, it will face a Russian battle tested army, which is much stronger than it was back in 2022. Apart from Ukraine, no one in Europe has comparable experience. Are we ready to integrate 🇺🇦 battle tested military capabilities with ours, and how?

Our defence relies now on the backbone of U.S. mil. forces in Europe. What will that backbone look like in the future? German forces? 23 separate EU MSs/NATO forces? Or a new European Defence Union? Would 🇺🇸 be stronger, if it had 50 armies, 50 defence policies & 50 budgets?

The NATO Summit made clear: Russia is the biggest long term threat for Europe & for NATO. To deter Russia we need a stronger Europe. We need NATO 3.0. Americans are asking Europe to take primary responsibility for its own conventional defence. And this is what we are doing.

Since the Russian invasion we 🇪🇺 have supported Ukraine with €50bn in military aid alone. That's a lot – but annually it's less than 0.1% of our GDP. We can and must do more. The White Paper sends a very clear signal: Ukraine's defence is an integral part of European defence.

In five years, Russia could be ready to confront NATO. Russia’s war economy is operating at full blast. We are far behind. To prevent Russian aggression, to prevent war, we need a big bang in defence spending and production. By working together: EU, EDA, NATO. #EDAconf

🇪🇺 is historically an economic giant. When it comes to defence, the European Union is also a giant. But a sleeping giant. In this world of giants we too must be giants. True to our values and strong. Dear friends, Let us together, wake the sleeping giant of Europe!

No single Member State alone can stand up against Russia. But together we can. The EU economy is many times larger than the Russian economy. Together we can outspend, outproduce and outmatch Russia. But then we need to unite and show solidarity. #Readiness2030 #poland25eu

We must heed the call of our Baltic friends and build a drone wall. This is not an abstract ambition. It is the bedrock of credible defence. A European capability developed together, deployed together, and sustained together, that can respond in real time. Ursula von der Leyen #SOTEU

🇪🇺shall be powerful geopolitically, if we shall be strong in our defence. We shall be strong in defence, if we shall be strong with our defence industry, industrially autonomous, and much less fragmented. European unity brings added value. That’s what #EDIP is about.
