It's absolutely clear WHY we need to strengthen Europe.

What clarity we need today is HOW to make Europe stronger.

There’s no #DefenceReadiness without Spain.

This strategy will help us concentrate our efforts to where the pressure is the highest.

From building defence to addressing depopulation, investing in transport networks & people - we help address the challenges of 🇪🇺 regions most affected by the proximity of the ongoing war.

[Andrius Kubilius @KubiliusA]

Getting ready for the missile tour!

Today I hosted a roundtable of European defence industry representatives. The industry is readying to ramp-up, indicating bottlenecks & importance of long term contracts.

🇺🇦 heroes in the front can not wait, we need to deliver super fast!

Important announcement at #ESC2026

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

Geopolitical shocks can - and must - be an opportunity for Europe.

The seismic shift underway makes it both possible & necessary to build a new European independence.

From security to the economy.
From defence to democracy.

Galileo launch successful! 🛰️

On 17 December at 05:01 GMT/06:01 CET), Galileo satellites 33-34 were launched from Europe's Spaceport in French Guiana on an Ariane 6 rocket.

This was the 14th launch of operational satellites for Europe's satellite navigation programme, reinforcing Europe's resilience and autonomy in space.

Happy 70th birthday to the European flag 🇪🇺

Back in 1955, the Council of Europe reviewed more than 100 designs, and chose this one as the winner.

The 12 stars stand for completeness, not countries. The design was chosen so it wouldn’t change with borders or new members.

[Andrius Kubilius @KubiliusA]

Mario Draghi and @EnricoLetta reports call for a single market for space. We need an EU #SpaceAct to establish the right conditions for such a single market - 1 set of rules instead of 27. And we need to design it together.

[Andrius Kubilius @KubiliusA]

All 19 Member States submitted their National Defence Investment plans for SAFE 🇪🇺

15 Member States have included support for Ukraine🇺🇦. More than expected! And we talk about billions, not millions.

SAFE is vital for EU defence readiness and our industrial base.

#SAFE

[Andrius Kubilius @KubiliusA]

We will continue working with EU Member States and Ukraine to help our defence industries fill capability gaps.

My journey to Vilnius!

Lithuanian airspace was once again disrupted by Lukashenko's balloons.

Sanctions is the only language Lukashenko understands.
