The closer you are to Russia, the more you spend on defence. Poland is determined not to become a Russian colony ever again. The US is our ally but for the American defence industry it is impossible to deliver everything we need because production capacity is not there. https://t.co/OBmZ2FYR6M #Poland #Defence #Russia #RU #PL #US

The Russian violation of Romanian airspace, and subsequent damage to infrastructure and injured citizens, is a reminder that our defence preparedness cannot be taken for granted. My thoughts and solidarity is with Romania. We must stand together to confront such incursions. #Romania #Defence #Solidarity #RO #RU

@SecGenNATO, Mark Rutte: „I affirmed that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory. We will continue to enhance our readiness to deter and defend against any threat, including from drones.” ⬇️ https://t.co/wZZ98CxPR4 #NATO #Defence #Drones #NL #NATO

The security environment in Europe is undergoing a fundamental shift — and with it, the demands placed on Allied force readiness are increasing accordingly. During the visit of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR), it was emphasized that increasing defence expenditure is https://t.co/Ohgcc2zmhI #Security #AlliedForces #DefenceExpenditure #EU

On the phone with President @ZelenskyyUA, I reiterated Europe’s full support for Ukraine as Russia doubles down on its brutal war of aggression. Air defence and drone and counter-drone capabilities are among Europe’s most urgent defence priorities. And Ukraine will be fully #StandWithUkraine #EuropeSupportsUkraine #DefencePriorities #UA #RU #EU

Great to meet 🇮🇹 Defence Minister @GuidoCrosetto in Rome today. We discussed security & defence issues including the very serious situation in the Middle East.

@SecGenNATO @elinavaltonen @Finnchod The thing you need to understand about the "battle blocks" is that hit with speeds between 3-4km per second and penetrate very deeply essentially vaporizing their target. #NATO #Defence #MilitaryTechnology #Nocountriesarementionedinthetweet.

We have since 2023 advocated allies should allocate 0,25% of GDP. This figure wasn’t taken out of thin air but based on our MoD analysis.

NATO works. Every inch of Allied territory is protected. Russia remains the long-term threat, which is why Europe is stepping up, strengthening deterrence, increasing defence spending, and backing Ukraine for the long haul.
