Russia said on Friday that French President Emmanuel Macron had spoken in a manner unbecoming of a head of state when he called Russian President Vladimir Putin "an ogre at our gates".
A safer, more resilient Europe.
The next EU budget will unite civil protection, health preparedness and defence to keep people safe:
🌊 Rapid crisis response across Member States
🛡️ Stronger defence and cybersecurity
🩺 Better health emergency preparedness
🚀 Innovation in defence and crisis management
With €10.7B propsoed for civil protection and health and €131B for Defence and Space, we’re building a Europe ready for any challenge.
More 👉 https://europa.eu/!w77nKY
We are proposing 131 billion euros for the defense and space window within the competitiveness fund.
That is five times of what we have today because we know that security is a top concern for citizens and governments, and it will strengthen our industrial base and our capabilities.
This will drive new investments, make mobility easier, and ensure continued support for Ukraine and its defense industry.
We are also proposing to invest 10.7 billion Euro to strengthen civil protection and improve how we respond to health emergencies.
This will help keep people safe from extreme weather, hybrid attacks, power outages, and the spread of diseases, our commitment to a stronger, more secure Europe.
Seriously @EUCommission?
Imho the #EU would be much more secure on a minimal budget if #pumpgunUschi would be locked up in #Russia, not spreading #fascism in Scandinavia.

An hourslong barrage of Russian missiles & drones killed at least 14 people in #Ukraine’s capital, including 3 children, early Thurs. The attack, which they said also injured at least 45, was the largest on Kyiv since #Trump’s meeting with #Putin of #Russia nearly 2 weeks ago.
A 5-story apartment building was destroyed & other homes were damaged. A missile also hit a shopping mall in central #Kyiv & a #EU mission building was damaged.

Europe’s ‘century of humiliation’ could be just beginning.
Donald Trump is using America’s military and technological superiority to force one-sided deals on Europe.
https://www.politico.eu/article/europes-century-of-humiliation-could-be-just-beginning/
The EU will seek to fast track legislation to remove all tariffs on US industrial goods to meet a demand made by Trump. 🤡
https://finance.yahoo.com/video/eu-propose-removing-us-tariffs-093154535.html
The EU’s humiliating “deal” with Trump was a dictated surrender. As top trade official Sabine Weyand admits, the US imposed terms under what amounted to a protection racket: with a land war in Europe and total dependence on American security, EU leaders chose economic submission over escalation. They knowingly accepted a strategically compromised deal to stabilize relations, revealing a bloc so weak it cannot say no.

The EU is a market with 450 million people.
There is vast public support for regulation of big tech and for companies to meet their responsibilities.
Giving in after a decade of efforts in this space is undesirable and unnecessary.

The worst part? It's the growing loss of trust in @EUCommission, driven by a dangerous slide into proposals like "Chat Control" and their dystopian approach to age verification which, laughably, would require a Google a/o Apple-approved device and account.
Data, service sovereignty, my ass.

Ukraine can always count on Europe. 🇺🇦 🇪🇺
On the eve of Ukraine’s Independence Day, we have illuminated our headquarters Berlaymont in blue and yellow - the colours of Ukraine.
In a tribute to the courage, pain, and hope of a nation walking a hard road.
We are together in building a brighter future for Ukraine and its people.

It was predicted that with full #EU support #Ukraine quickly turns to a malignant #nazi #reich. And right now this actually happens. #Ukraine just started to threaten neighbor states:

2. #Poland for the #nazi #banderites symbol ban (!).
3. #Slovakia some time earlier.
The general ukrainian inspiration is everyone else is in their debt because of their NATIONAL offense. This is a real WARNING sign.
