I asked #NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg after the fall of Kabul whether the Taliban won the war. He deflects that question (x 2) and insists the international community maintains significant leverage over the Taliban to hold it to its word(s).

Seems like something #NATO might want to think about in terms of sharing data, no?

Heads up NATO navies. Reefer NOVIY SVET has entered Baltic Sea during morning. She spent Christmas 2024 crossing gas pipe line Nyhamna - Aasta Hansteen just of Norway. 38 times. IMO: 8509557

German Def Min Pistorius told the UDCG he'd agreed last week w/US SecDef Hegseth that Germany will "contribute to providing [Kyiv] the *5* urgently needed Patriot systems as quickly as possible." Berlin had been speaking of 2 Patriots until Trump reportedly offered more.

Ensuring youth participation and civil-society support is crucial for the vitality and sustainability of #EUEnlargement. Very important discussion this morning at the EESC.

The idea that used to be called a "NATO bank" has grown, along with allies' needs to spend more on their militaries. Would it help? Check out my @dwnews report on the DSR bank w/thanks to Robbie Boyd and @GuntramWolff instagram.com/reel/DMIS1KZML…

Here's what you need to know from @RosieBirchard as EU foreign ministers digest the news on Ukraine and Russia out of the White House yesterday. Share the bill, says HRVP Kallas. 50 days is a long time, notes Dutch FM Veldkamp... 👇

EU states seem relieved the US has ramped up pressure on Russia. But after Trump announced a thin-on-details deal for Europe to buy more US-made arms to send to Ukraine, the EU’s top diplomat says Washington should chip in & “share the burden.” Me for DW: dw.com/en/eu-backs-tr…

Cold water from EU foreign policy chief Kallas on "new" "US plan" for Ukraine: "We are doing as much as we can...[T]he call is that everybody would do the same. If you promise to give the weapons but say somebody else is going to pay for it, it's not really given by you, is it?"
