SecDef @PeteHegseth - "@NATO är en stor allians, den mest framgångsrika försvarsalliansen i historien, men för att uthärda för framtiden måste våra partners göra mycket mer för Europas försvar." Han säger att Europa borde göra mer för att försvara kontinenten
Litauens försvarsminister @DSakaliene kallade i morse i Bryssel "illusionen" att Trump och Putin kommer att hitta en lösning på kriget i Ukraina för "en dödlig fälla". "Oavsett om vi bestämmer oss för att falla under illusionen att herr Trump och herr Putin kommer att hitta en lösning för oss alla, och det skulle vara en dödlig fälla, eller så kommer vi, som Europa, omfamna vår egen ekonomiska, finansiella och militära kapacitet. Och vi kommer att vara de som kommer att bestämma vad som kommer att hända i Europa och i Ukraina med USA. Låt oss inte vara naiva, men inte bara den största alliansen som Nato har bidragit med. Jag vill upprepa, betalar för vår säkerhet och det måste korrigeras.

Försvarsmaktens minister: Natten mellan onsdag och torsdag var ett franskt Atlantique 2 maritimt patrullflygplan målet för ryska skrämselåtgärder. Den patrullerade internationellt luftrum över Östersjön, som en del av en Nato-operation, och belystes av eldledningsradarn från ett S400 mark-till-luft försvarssystem. Denna aggressiva ryska aktion är inte acceptabel. Våra väpnade styrkor kommer att fortsätta att agera för att försvara navigeringsfriheten i internationella luft- och maritima utrymmen.
