Putin has no interest in peace. Europe has to continue ramping-up defence capabilities and European defence industry. We need to be ready to deter Russia & bolster transatlantic relations. Conversation with @jmart at the @AspenSecurity Forum ⬇️ 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=-MTKfc…

In war trust between the fighting nation and its leadership is more important than modern weapons - difficult to build and to keep, but easy to lose with one significant mistake by the leadership. Transparency & open European dialogue is the only way to repair the damaged trust.
Frank discussion with @Svyrydenko_Y and @taraskachka. Expressed serious concerns over the latest Rule of Law developments, especially changes adopted to the law on NABU & SAPO. We'll continue working with Ukraine on the necessary rule of law reforms & progress on its EU path.

While 🇪🇺 is committed to further develop our state of the art space capabilities - Galileo, Copernicus, IRIS², EOGS, LEO-PNT, SSA - interesting to see 🇺🇸 ambitions at the US Space Force. Important to cooperate among transatlantic partners on space for defence & defence of space.
