With SAFE we are producing the capabilities Europe needs most. We will focus on pan-European projects from drones, cyber defence and air defence systems. For example, a comprehensive European Air Shield. It will be a strong symbol of 🇪🇺 unity in defence.

🇪🇺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.

Europeans expect Europe to be able to defend itself. We need 🇪🇺 European joint defence projects and to go back to Schuman, Adenauer, and De Gasperi's vision of building a European army. European defence cooperation must reach a level that no future government can undo. #EUCO

For the first time ever, defence will be a fundamental pillar of the EU 🇪🇺 budget. This is historic! European solidarity & supporting our partners in Eastern & Central Europe. Defence, border protection, prosperity, competitiveness — we need a budget that makes Europe stronger.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius Andrius Kubilius: we need the European Defence Union. NATO membership for Ukraine, for the time being, is not available. Full membership in the European Union is a complicated process that cannot guarantee quick integration of defense capabilities. Those are the reasons why the most effective instrument could be to look for some new instrument that would concentrate specifically on the integration of all the European defence capabilities. That is why we need the European Defence Union, which would allow to integrate defense capabilities of Ukraine, the United Kingdom, Norway with those of willing European Union member states. Such an integration would also be a strong security guarantee for Ukraine after the just peace is established.

European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius: If the Americans will shift from Europe, how do we create a European pillar of NATO? How we will replace the 100,000 strong American standing military force, the backbone military force in Europe? A collection of 27 bonsai armies? Or the creation of a powerful standing European military force of 100,000 troops.

Whether Putin dares to test Europe’s defences depends on us. Today, EU Defence Ministers are meeting to discuss how to make use of the €90 billion loan for Ukraine, as well as defence industry cooperation between the EU and Ukraine. Together with industry, we will focus on ramping up defence production. The funding is there. Now it is time to turn investment into capabilities — faster and cheaper. At the European Defence Agency Steering Board, we will decide on strengthening the agency, with a greater focus on innovation and experimentation. My press remarks ahead of today’s Foreign Affairs Council on Defence ↓

Very good meeting of NATO Defence Ministers today. We discussed real progress made as Allies increase defence investment, ramp up defence industry, and continue to support Ukraine But I also saw a real shift in mindset. Unity of vision on a much stronger European defence within NATO. Europe is really stepping up. We are working together - Europe & North America - to deliver effective deterrence and defence

Ukraine's defence industry is the best and most innovative - European Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius "At the very beginning of the war, there was no military demand for drones and for innovative defence. Only after some time, in Ukraine, innovative defence supply managed to transform military demand. Thanks to innovative supply, Ukraine changed its war doctrine. Thanks to transformation of its war doctrine, Ukraine is prevailing. We must integrate Ukraine - into our European Defence Industry, into our European Defence Market, and into a future European Defence Union," Andrius Kubilius said at the European Defence and Security Summit.

In a hypothetical scenario where Nigerian airspace comes under threat, this is the full extent of our current air defense capabilities. Nigeria's air defence strategy relies heavily on fighter jets for flexibility and rapid response. They are the primary component of our air defence, and we have barely a squadron.

Our first meeting with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in the format of a strategic dialogue. Today, we signed the Ukraine-UK Enhanced Security and Defence Industrial Collaboration Declaration.

Of course, we also touched on the situation in the Middle East. I thank the United Kingdom and personally Keir Starmer for the support. We in Ukraine sincerely appreciate it.
