Nato will continue to work closely with our allies in the Black Sea. We have already strengthened our posture along the eastern flank and will continue to monitor the security environment, adjusting our deterrence and defence posture as needed. #BlackSea #MaritimeSecurity #RussiaUkraineConflict
NATO has presented a strategic plan, called the Eastern Flank Deterrence Initiative, aimed at countering a potential Russian attack by targeting military objectives in Kaliningrad, St. Petersburg, and Belarus with the assistance of drones and missiles, to prevent an aggression from turning into a wider conflict. #Nato #Kaliningrad #Difesa (translated)

The author said it was time to stop describing Russia’s actions as “hybrid” and instead call them arson, sabotage or cyberattacks. At RUSI, they said exposing those who ordered and carried out the attacks was essential to deterring them, and added that Russia wanted to divide and weaken. https://t.co/5hsIcKzzeA #Russia #Cyberattacks #Deterrence #RU

🇹🇼🇺🇸🇪🇺 TAIWAN, EUROPE & THE TRANSATLANTIC COMMUNITY My position is that Taiwan’s security matters far beyond the Taiwan Strait.

EUROPE NEEDS CREDIBLE NUCLEAR DETERRENCE. My proposal is clear: strengthen the American nuclear guarantee and move NATO’s nuclear-sharing posture eastward — Poland, Estonia, Romania and Bulgaria. Modernise the mission around the F-35A and B61-12. NATO’s eastern flank must never https://t.co/18lscSYnoD #NuclearDeterrence #NATO #EasternFlank #PL #EE #RO #BG
In Finland, our citizens understand why we need to strengthen our deterrence and defence. We understand the long-term threat that Russia poses to European and transatlantic security. That is why we all need to meet the 5% defence spending target. Thank you @CNN for the interview! https://t.co/hDKPdMw86W #Finland #Defence #Security #FI #RU
The U.S. is continuing its military presence in Estonia. This is an strong signal of Allied unity and important element of deterrence and defence on NATO’s eastern flank.

In recent days, there has been considerable speculation about the security of NATO's eastern flank. Estonia's security assessment remains unchanged. We are calm, vigilant, and prepared. Together with our NATO Allies, we have spent years strengthening deterrence and collective #NATO #EasternFlank #Security #EE #NATO
PROPOSAL FOR DEBATE: THE FRENCH PRESIDENT AS PERMANENT CHAIR OF A EUROPEAN SECURITY COUNCIL? 🇪🇺🇫🇷 One model would give the French President a permanent chair because France possesses an independent nuclear deterrent and already links its deterrence debate increasingly to European https://t.co/qp8ysgSEs7 #EuropeanSecurity #France #NuclearDeterrent #FR #EU
Europe’s failure to punish Russia despite years of sabotage, airspace violations, assassinations & attempted bombings emboldened the Kremlin & showed them their tactics work. Our leaders’ weakness invited escalation. It’s now likely too late for deterrence. We need to prepare. #Russia #Deterrence #EuropeanUnion #RU #EU
