Let’s be clear: a free and sovereign Ukraine is not only in the European interest. It’s also in the interest of the entire world. An investment in Ukraine’s sovereignty is an investment in the prevention of future wars. My statement in Kyiv ↓ x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Good phone calls with defence ministers of 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇦. Told them our €150bn loans programme SAFE is open to EU & non-EU collaboration. It invites friends to build deeper defence industry partnerships of mutual benefit with us.

We must be ready to defend all EU borders: land, air, maritime. The Eastern Border Shield project is an example of a defence Project of Common European interest, which would strengthen the EU's external land border with Russia and Belarus against military and hybrid threats.
