Ukraine is proving stronger than many expected

Now is the time to increase pressure on Russia & empower Ukraine to defend itself, rebuild and secure a just & lasting peace. Europe can do more even without major new funding.

🔟 ideas to spend smarter & support harder 🧵(1/12)

[EU Institute for Security Studies @EU_ISS]

How can Europe sustain higher defence spending without putting even more pressure on national budgets?

A new round of SAFE loans could help governments borrow more cheaply while encouraging joint procurement, argue @LScazzieri & Alessandro Vitiello. https://t.co/Yz5Fr7GqR7

European Defence Projects of Common Interest could help close critical capability gaps. But with projects involving 17 to 28 countries, agreeing on common priorities to deliver concrete results could prove difficult, warns @LScazzieri. https://t.co/Kxg0Ln7NU6

Those behind the recent wave of hybrid attacks want to learn. They want to know how we respond and where we deploy our resources.

"Europe is not officially at war, but it's a fine line".

Enlargement: "The EU's own preparations can no longer remain an open-ended exercise", writes @BojanaZori2. https://t.co/t7VCDpmYWP

From drones to air defence & space, European Defence Projects of Common Interest could help close critical capability gaps.

But without sufficient funding, clear priorities & focused cooperation, they risk falling short, argues @LScazzieri.

Iran is a big legacy for Trump. Walking away now could make him look weak.

Further escalation in the short term, followed by a possible US withdrawal, is one scenario, argues @gspataf95.

"From Moscow's perspective, the clock is really ticking now on the Trump era."

Expect more efforts to lure him into a deal on Ukraine favourable to Russia, warns @sbeverts.

Europe should not make the mistake of thinking the old US is back. It should keep calm and build its own strength.

🛰️ How can Europe remain a leading space power, with sufficient autonomy and freedom to access and operate in space? And how can we ensure the security and resilience of its space infrastructure?

This was at the heart of today's workshop, co-organised with @eu_eeas & @defis_eu.

Despite the Democrats’ win, the old transatlantic relationship is not coming back.

"The US’s role in Europe will get smaller & the threats against Europe are going to increase." So 🇪🇺 must boost deterrence while cooperating with 🇺🇸.

Cyberattacks on supermarket fridges across Europe expose vulnerabilities in everyday services.

As civilian & military threats increasingly overlap, preparing societies to withstand shocks must be central to #EUdefence argue @NKovalcikova & @gspataf95. https://t.co/Nk0qXMEuBh

The Democrats’ midterm victory may constrain Trump at home but make US foreign policy even more unpredictable.

What now for Europe? ➡️Engage the new Congress, manage the administration & prepare for the relationship beyond 2028.
