At just 23 years old, she was captured by the Germans and executed #OTD in 1941 after enduring brutal torture. Despite the harsh interrogation, she never betrayed anyone, remaining steadfast in her loyalty and courage.

My messages at #EUCO:
The new security reality demands new solutions.
European defence needs a decisive lift. We need deterrence credible enough to stop Russia's aggression and avoid war.
Let's build a combat-effective Europe able to provide for transatlantic security. 1/
"Above all, while defending our own vital interests, nuclear powers must avert those confrontations which bring an adversary to a choice of either a humiliating retreat or a nuclear war. To adopt that kind of course in the nuclear age would be evidence only of the bankruptcy of our policy--or of a collective death-wish for the world." -JFK
