A summary of last week’s highly successful #NATO Public Forum in Vilnius, Lithuania. A big thanks to all participants involved, especially our 🇱🇹 co-host @EESC_LT and co-organisers @gmfus, @MunSecConf and @AtlanticCouncil.
The Summit shows that we are united and all at one table, sending a strong signal to Russia: we are ready to defend every inch of our freedom and democracy.

Swedish Def Min @PlJonson calls Russia's war on Ukraine a "war of warehouses" but notes that #NATO is exporting to Ukraine its fragmented defense market with systems of all different kinds, which makes repairs/replacements more difficult. #NATOPublicForum
The German Defense Minister @BMVg_Bundeswehr Boris Pistorius announces a package of ~700Mil€ of support to Ukraine. „We are supporting 🇺🇦 as long as it is needed.“
