Europeans who act as mouthpieces for the Trump administration against their own strategic interests are not much better than those working for Russia or China.

Tony Blair is actively undermining our security by lobbying for Trump.

It is an absolute disgrace

Ukrainian FM Sybiha said Hungary's attempt to retroactively legalize its seizure of Oschadbank funds proves it has no legal basis for the action. "They are simply adding lawlessness to lawlessness," he said, vowing accountability for both the theft and mistreatment of 7 Ukrainian citizens. #Europe

An AN-196 Lyuty drone struck the Uralkhim plant in Kirovo-Chepetsk, Kirov region on March 4, targeting the ammonia production unit. The unit was not damaged, but production was halted for safety and fully restarted on March 7. #Ukraine

Patriots for Europe is an insult to actual European security.

They are a traitorous group that exists to sabotage our united defense and that will always put Russia before Ukraine

We thought Gerhard SchrΓΆder selling out to Russian gas was the ultimate betrayal of European security.

Viktor Orban is proving to be even worse.

Sabotaging EU unity and actively working against our collective defense makes him Europe's biggest traitor

There is a special place in hell for OrbΓ‘n and Fico.

They are actively blocking the €90 billion EU financial aid package for Ukraine, going completely against their previous promises.

People are fighting for their survival while these two play political games

The growing need for Ukrainian interceptors to stop shahed drones in the Middle East is just a preview.

In the coming years, the West will rely heavily on Ukrainian defense innovation.

Ukraine is indispensable to our own security.

We must do more to help them defeat Russia

Want to end the war in Ukraine sooner?

The solution is straightforward.

We need to fund and produce more cruise missiles for Ukraine.

It is that simple!

Ukraine currently produces more cruise missiles than the entire European Union.

Meanwhile, our stockpiles are nowhere near what is actually needed to deter Russia.

We have the industrial potential to fix this.

It is time to stop talking and truly step up production

The last few years provided a brutal reality check for European defense.

Our current production lines and stockpiles for cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and interceptors are completely inadequate for high-intensity conflict.

Europe must drastically step up production now
