Deterring China is possible through NATO and with Allies, I argue @Defence24eng ⬇️ defence24.com/geopolitics/...

Ett år av sorg och fortfarande pendlar både länder och människor mellan olika faser av att greppa den dramatiska förvandlingen framför allas ögon: timbro.se/smedjan/sorgen… (från mars 2025) och de som till trots hävdar att det som sker eg inte är något nytt sorterar under fas ett: förnekelse.

❗️Yale Humanitarian Lab har sedan 2022 bedrivit ett kritiskt arbete m att dokumentera de tusentals bortförda ukrainska barnen, nu behövs ny kontaktpunkt/plattform för att fortsätta arbetet.

🇵🇱A few days after the drones in Poland, @freeworldforum w KAS Nordics presented ”Russia’s Hybrid War: the Northern Front” (ed Minna Ålander @patrikoksanen). Chapter on Poland by @AleksanderOlech discussed also in our podcast 📻https://shows.acast.com/5f96be7aef607235bdca2c62/68d2766a1215b9b4f6162dc5

Interesting from Kallas: "India's participation in Russia's military exercises and its purchase of Russian oil stand in the way of closer ties. Because, ultimately, our partnership is not only about trade, but also about defending rules-based international order" www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/college...

Thank you Ukraine, thank you Poland for protecting Europe 🇺🇦🇵🇱 Lets us now use available forces, formats and resources to stay sharp on our common purpose, safe-guarding freedom and democracy -our future- pushing Russia out of Europe once and for all.

Started this week @efntv.bsky.social with @rikardwest at Centre for Statecraft and Strategic Communication. Topic: Ongoing Ukraine talks. One main point: Ukraine and Europe’s needs, interests and narrative should be the centre of any talk on Ukraine’s future efn.se/play/europas...

As Sweden hosts trade talks between the U.S. and China, we should seize the opportunity to state clearly that meaningful trade depends on peace and freedom—not just for the sake of markets, but for people and for Europe.

A lot of good things are happening in Europe: the EU is implementing more sanctions (I won a bet on this) and Ukraine is being integrated into the European defence industrial and technological base. Some Europtimism on this week’s Europe Dispatch with @phillipspobrien.bsky.social

Idag m @patrikoksanen.bsky.social i @dagensindustri om varför det långsiktigt är en förlustaffär för demokratier att binda upp sig med kommunikationsverktyg som diktaturer har inflytande över.

Thought Germany was embarking on a more sensible path regarding these issues, what happened?

”The Nordics in NATO: Where are we headed?” @oajonsson.bsky.social @gunnarhokmark.bsky.social F. Johansson O. Ehrenkrona & Föreningen Norden 🙏Take-aways? Nordics play a decisive role, formats can be strengthened, cultural shift towards more agency and action demanded: frivarld.se/nyheter/nord...

From DC earlier this week, met a single couragous soul who was visibly demonstrating outside of the White House. For the sake of Ukraine. Waiting to see more of the U.S that stands up for that which is, and just a few weeks ago even in the U.S was, the right thing 🇺🇦🇪🇺

"Den fasa som Trump skapar har tidigare hanterats delvis med att skilja på det han säger och det han gör. Då har man bortsett från att kommunikation också är att agera. Och vad som händer med relationer när man inte vet om kommunikationen är sann eller ej", skriver om ett USA som nu sviker Europa.
