An historic moment: Merz says Germany will accept responsibility for security on the European continent. As Russia increases threats and hybrid warfare against Europe at the same time that US support is weakening, this is an important promise at a critical point in time.

Bolton: If Europe says Iran is not its war, Trump could respond that Ukraine is not America’s war. That rhetoric risks weakening transatlantic support and could shift US commitments at a critical moment for European allies. 1/

Germany's Chancellor Merz: We all know that security in Europe has fundamentally changed in recent years. It is clear that Russia poses an imminent threat to us. In this time of geopolitical uncertainty and growing security challenges, Germany carries a special responsibility, not only for its own future, but also for the unity of Europe as a whole. We are transforming our army, the Bundeswehr, into the strongest conventional army in Europe.

🇺🇸🇩🇪🇺🇦🇷🇺 German chancellor Merz: - This meeting on Friday will need to have the result that pressure on Russia is intensified or that Russia by itself realizes they can’t continue the war So, he excluded negotiated peace - He says it can’t be that America and Russia decide for Europe an for Ukraine. Tough luck, I guess. That’s how geopolitics are. - Merz cannot accept that Russia will be rewarded and can threaten European security. Russia could not accept that you threaten Russian security, remember?

🇩🇪🇷🇺 "Russia is a European country" — Germany's Merz makes an unexpected shift "I'm not saying this because I'm in the east; I'm saying this anywhere in Germany. Russia is a European country" With Giorgia Meloni calling for renewed dialogue with Russia and Merz emphasizing Russia’s role in Europe, could the conflict be moving toward an end?

Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić on the "hybrid war" against Russia: You talk about the hybrid war that Russia has unleashed against Germany and some other European countries, but it's practically the same thing that Europe has been doing against Russia – or even more. What Europe has been doing against Russia is even more. You are arming Ukraine. You are imposing sanctions against Russia. And at the same time, you are providing financial support to Ukraine. What is that, if not a hybrid war against Russia? They are doing practically the same thing. This doesn't mean that I agree with it, but I'm telling you that there's a simple explanation if they are indeed acting that way. You need to try to understand the positions of both Zelensky and Putin.

Serbia's President Aleksandar Vučić: You’re speaking about hybrid war that was launched by Russia against Germany and some other European countries, but it’s pretty much the same that Europe was doing against Russia — or even more. What Europe was doing against Russia was more than that. You were arming Ukraine. You were sanctioning Russia. You were at the same time financially supporting Ukraine. What is that, if not a hybrid war against Russia? They were doing pretty much the same. It doesn’t mean that I agree with that, but I’m telling you that there is an easy justification, right, if they really do so. You need to put yourself into both shoes. Source: MD MEETS

Breaking🚨: Merz says "disillusioned" with US and Israel over Iran. "At this point I am disillusioned simply because the US and Israel claimed at the beginning that they could solve this problem within days. Now I must recognize: It is not solved." Said Germany and EU also have "own European ideas on how to get to a resolution of the conflict." Will continue own diplomatic efforts in coordination with US. This was the second public criticism of US by Merz in one day. Earlier Merz said about US in Iran: "an entire nation is being humiliated by the Iranian leadership".

"If Russia wins, the consequences for all of us, including Germany, will be unprecedented. That is why I am standing firm and will not yield even a centimeter": Chancellor Merz fired up at the EU Arctic Summit. Of course, Russia will defeat Ukraine. But what consequences would there be for Germany if Russia defeats Ukraine? Russia is not at war with Germany. Or does Chancellor Merz believe that Germany is at war with Russia, and is that why he fears a Russian victory? 😂🤡

BIG | 🇩🇪🇪🇺‼️‼️ German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has acknowledged that Germany is undergoing a profound political realignment after the far right’s historic electoral breakthrough, admitting that the federal government has failed to build a strong emotional connection with a growing part of the electorate. Merz said Germany has a strong constitution and all the necessary instruments to defend its democratic order even against a far-right state government, but warned that the country is experiencing “tectonic shifts” across its party system. He acknowledged that neither he nor his government can simply continue operating as usual and conceded that they have not succeeded in connecting with voters on an emotional level. The warning comes after the AfD’s extraordinary breakthrough in Saxony-Anhalt and exposes a much deeper challenge for Berlin than a single regional defeat. Germany remains one of the central pillars of European support for Ukraine and NATO deterrence, while the AfD favors a dramatically different approach toward Russia and Kyiv. Merz now faces the difficult task of addressing domestic frustration without weakening Germany’s strategic commitments at a moment when Russian military and hybrid pressure on Europe is intensifying.

'The deployment of peacekeepers in Ukraine is not what is needed to end the war that the West is waging against Russia at the hands of Ukrainians. We will not accept this under any circumstances. No one talks to us about this. And as they [the Europeans] say: "Nothing about Ukraine - without Ukraine." At the same time, everything about Russia - without Russia. Why should we agree to the deployment of military forces from countries that consider us adversaries? And these troops will come as peacekeepers?' - Lavrov

Europe cannot win a long war against Russia: At a closed Munich Security Conference forum on European military coordination, NATO planners and diplomats said Europe could not sustain a war of attrition against Russia today. Weak public support, poor readiness, and thin endurance are the reasons: ammunition stocks and industrial output are not built for a long, high-intensity fight. That should surprise no one. Europe leaned on the United States for too long. Washington now looks tired of that role and is cutting its conventional presence. Time is running out for Europe.

German chancellor Merz: „I will call the President Trump today. We are preparing on an European level for this meeting (in Alaska) together with the US government so that President Zelenskyy is included. In any case, we cannot accept that in matters of territorial questions talks conducted or even decisions made between the USA and Russia without an European or Ukrainian participation. I assume that the US government shares this view. This is why we have this close discussions. We cannot accept that the entire European security architecture is threatened by Russia. This is why there cannot be peace, if Russia would be rewarded for aggression, which potentially encourages even more aggression. This is our message and I’m grateful that we are in a close dialogue with the Americans. The talks in Alaska next Friday should not be without results. There must be consequences either by increasing pressure on Russia or Russia admits by itself that this war cannot be continued.“

At ESA’s 3rd Security Conference earlier this year in Warsaw, I warned that Europe was facing unprecedented security threats. Recent events have only confirmed this notion. Russian drones have repeatedly violated EU airspace, posing serious risks to citizens and critical infrastructure. At the same time, persistent PNT jamming continues to endanger air traffic safety, most recently during European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen’s visit to Bulgaria. These developments combined with rising geopolitical instability globally and wavering US support in Europe, underscore that the threat to our security has not diminished and that urgent, coordinated action is needed. In this moment of rapid change, there is a critical need to synchronise European initiatives by aligning space for defence competencies, avoiding duplication and pooling resources for scale. We still remain too fragmented to guarantee Europe with genuine, comprehensive and autonomous space resilience. We have an opportunity to change that, and we must. With the European Resilience from Space proposal at ESA's Ministerial Council 2025 in November, ESA provides the means.

Politician Kemi Badenoch, who heads the opposition in Britain, has an important message for the Jewish community at a time when antisemitism is sweeping both Britain and Europe. She doesn’t evade responsibility, doesn’t ignore the problem, and doesn’t allow manipulation by hostile media members on this issue. This is how leaders in Europe should speak! Kemi Badenoch
