Australia’s choice of a Japanese design for its newest class of frigates represents a milestone for both countries, offering to boost Australian naval capabilities and Japan’s defence-export aspirations.

The 1975 Helsinki Final Act was one of the most important products of the period of détente between the West & the Soviet bloc in the late 1960s & early 1970s. Are it & the #OSCE that grew out of it still relevant in 2025?

Our recent report from Ed Arnold examines how the UK and Germany can maximise their new relationship to ensure that it delivers the most value to each of them and to European security.

@RUSI_org @Justin_Br0nk Yes, but if they carry B61 nuclear weapons that will be subject to US agreement on the mission. Given recent US reluctance and withholding approval for Ukraine to use US systems, and Trump’s questioning of what Art5 means, maybe the decision is questionable.

[Anton Spisak @AntonSpisak]

My longer (and slightly more coherent) take on the UK–EU “reset” is now up: what was agreed, what comes next – and why the fundamentals of post-Brexit relations remain unchanged.

@LordRickettsP The news coverage on this is misleading. If we sign a defence pact with EU we are in. Von de Leyen says
“SAFE will also allow acceding countries, candidate countries, potential candidates and countries having signed a Security and Defence Partnerships with the EU to join …”

[Peter Ricketts @LordRickettsP]

This is encouraging. A report from @LordsEUCom a year ago described third country rules on non-EU states joining EU defence projects as ‘protectionist’. Given Trump’s approach to European security, it’s urgent to knock down the barriers to effective defence industry cooperation.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

Three years of resistance. Three years of gratitude. Three years of absolute heroism of Ukrainians. I am proud of Ukraine! I thank everyone who defends and supports it. Everyone who works for Ukraine. And may the memory of all those who gave their lives for our state and people be eternal. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

[Peter Ricketts @LordRickettsP]

Macron adds “We must also develop a fully integ­rated European defence indus­trial and tech­no­lo­gical base.” He might therefore demand changes in the EU’s protectionist third-country rules which stop UK defence industry from participating in projects involving EU funding.
