SecDef @PeteHegseth - "@NATO je sjajan savez, najuspješniji obrambeni savez u povijesti, ali da bi izdržali u budućnosti, naši partneri moraju učiniti puno više za obranu Europe." Kaže da bi Europa trebala učiniti više za obranu kontinenta
Ministar obrane Litve @DSakaliene jutros je u Bruxellesu nazvao "iluziju" da će Trump i Putin pronaći rješenje za rat u Ukrajini "smrtonosnom zamkom". "Odlučimo li pasti u iluziju da će g. Trump i g. Putin pronaći rješenje za sve nas, a to bi bila smrtonosna zamka, ili ćemo kao Europa prigrliti vlastite ekonomske, financijske i vojne kapacitete. I mi ćemo biti ti koji će odlučivati što će se dogoditi u Europi i Ukrajini sa Sjedinjenim Državama. Ne budimo naivni. Sjedinjene Države nisu samo najznačajniji doprinositelj NATO saveza, već i onaj koji je, želim ponoviti, plaćao za našu sigurnost i to treba ispraviti."

Ministar oružanih snaga: U noći sa srijede na četvrtak, francuski pomorski patrolni zrakoplov Atlantique 2 bio je meta ruskih mjera zastrašivanja. Patrolirao je međunarodnim zračnim prostorom iznad Baltičkog mora, u sklopu NATO operacije, a bio je osvijetljen radarom za upravljanje paljbom obrambenog sustava zemlja-zrak S400.
