🇧🇾 #Belarus is a key issue for Poland's security. Over 20 experts from Europe, the US, and Belarus to the discussion. The report contains joint recommendations. Poland must develop its own policy towards Belarus—otherwise, others will implement it instead.

🇷🇺Russia’s #claims to have detained two Polish citizens in Kaliningrad on espionage charges. The timing is interesting: 11 November, Poland’s Independence Day, and just a day after an ABW operation against alleged Russian agents.

🛡️ A law or strategy does not guarantee resilience in a real crisis. NATO’s requirements must translate into measurable capabilities, adequate resources, clear responsibilities and practical tests to ensure states can maintain essential functions during disruptions.

🇷🇺 Russia’s full-scale invasion of 🇺🇦 Ukraine has reshaped European security, ending the post-Cold War assumption that large-scale war in Europe was unlikely. Conventional military power, ammunition, logistics and defence production are back in focus, alongside drones, satellite intelligence and digital warfare.

🚀 Could space-based missiles become Europe’s next conventional deterrent against Russia? ATMOS Space aims to fill a critical gap in European defence by bringing strike capabilities directly into orbit. Is this the future of deterrence?

🇨🇦 Canada has deployed its entire NATO multinational brigade (approx. 3,000 troops and 1,000 vehicles) to eastern Latvia for its largest-ever military exercise in the country. The message is clear: NATO is preparing not just to deter Russia, but to defend its eastern flank. Ottawa has extended its military presence in Latvia until 2031.

Świetnie, że rozmawiamy o bazie od USA🇺🇸, ale może czas pomyśleć o innym kluczowym partnerze, jak Kanada🇨🇦. Mają świetne wojska i też bardzo angażują się na wschodniej flance.
Może zatem Fort Kanada gdzieś w regionie?

The CSTO’s Moscow meetings are split into two parts: the International Collective Security Forum (10–11 November), featuring expert panels and a business exhibition, and the CSTO Summit on 11 November. The summit will bring together member-state leaders, with Russia handing over the organisation’s rotating chairmanship to Tajikistan for 2027.

[Defence24com @Defence24eng]

🇷🇺 Russia is seeking to reinvigorate the CSTO as it concludes its 2026 presidency, prioritising counter-terrorism cooperation, defence technologies and a new Eurasian security architecture. Yet behind Moscow’s great-power ambitions, the alliance remains mired in a deep crisis of identity and trust.
