#Greenland & #Arctic must be a strategic priority. Trump’s threats will not disappear, but #Greenland & #Denmark, with #Nordic, #Arctic & #BalticSea allies, as well as #NATO & the #EU, can raise the stakes by acting together. Take a peek at 6 recommendations www.epc.eu/publication/...

I am humbled & grateful that #Stockholm Free World Forum (Frivärld) published my talking points on the #Nordic & #Baltic Sea security which I delivered at the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Nordic Countries Security Conference held in Stockholm early November 2025. frivarld.se/sakerhetsrad...

Thrilled to feature next to Prof David Betz, #WarStudies, King’s College London I explain why in crises & war, #civil preparedness is as important as #military readiness #Skills, revival of #military careers, public #conversation abt risks & morale are essential www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jTq...

My latest on Russian aerial incursions in the Baltic and why NATO & EU should take composed but forceful action, www.epc.eu/publication/...

At last! #Poland shoots down #Russian drones violating #NATO’s airspace. There is no need to wait until #NATO is given a bloody nose. www.epc.eu/publication/...

Grateful to join @lrt.bsky.social & discuss #US cut of military aid to #Lithuania, changing #US global force posture, how this plays in the hands of #Russia, & what can be done abt it. I made clear that #Lithuania must brace itself & prepare for the worst, incl. reduction of US troops in #Europe

Europe didn’t see that war in UKR is Europe’s war, & relied on US US didn’t see that war in UKR is US war, & relied on RUS deescalation Europe & US didn’t want military victory against RUS, only the sustainment of UKR Now Europeans are preparing for a bigger war with RUS & a trade war with US

As #EU leaders meet at the #EuropeanCouncil 20-21/03, I share insights with @deutschewelle.bsky.social abt EU #rearmament, #defence partnerships including with the #UK, & #collaborative procurement, 3:33 m.youtube.com/watch?v=7q8Q...

A must-watch on #EC thinking abt #EU #defence in lockstep with #NATO As first 800bn takes up, so should the forthcoming defence surges of 1.5T Important if #Ukraine was part of it, with #sky of #Ukraine as priority, alongside #EU #civil #defence & #preparedness www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/...

Thank you Ofer Laszewicki from Artículo 14 in #Spain for your interest in #Ukraine & for choosing me as the voice for the #defence of #Europe Women play meaningful roles in matters of war, peace & defence. Way to go!  #PeriodismoPorLaIgualdad

As a European citizen & taxpayer, I welcome the first European defence surge of 800bn + I also hold that it is only JUST & FAIR that Russian state & citizens pay for the consequences of the war 190bn frozen assets must go to #Ukraine

Thrilled to speak to the @nytimes.com abt the @ec.europa.eu proposal for #ReArmEuropePlan

As the #European & #NATO leaders gather in #London for the #UkraineSummit, I connect with #DW from beautiful #Jönköping in #Sweden to highlight that Europe+Ukraine have agency & must create leverage in its bargain with #Trump & #Putin

I speak to #AFP / #FRANCE24 about #Europe's leverage & #Trump "Trump is bargaining big time. The Europeans should identify areas which the US must complement & also present them as conditional, for example on security guarantees if there are bilateral European troops, there must also be US troops"

Peek at this 2025 Outlook Paper which features an outstanding compilation of publications on Europe in the world in 2025 I was thrilled to contribute with a piece on #UK-#EU relations on #defence & #research & #innovation, & co-author another one on the #BalticSeaRegion epc.eu/en/Publicati...

It was a pleasure to share insights with @deutschewelle.bsky.social Newsdesk on what Europe needs to do to build a strong defense. Grateful to anchor Biresh Banerjee & all the viewers who called in with excellent questions from home m.youtube.com/watch?v=KMva...

Ukraine’s military victory against Russia is the best security guarantee for Ukraine & Europe as a whole

Thrilled to put this timely EPC event together & invite you to join me in welcoming EP President Roberta Metsola to discuss: ·      Current & future trends of European defence & security ·      How defence fits into EP priorities ·      Transatlantic realities & NATO www.epc.eu/en/events/EP...

This crucial week for Europe with #RamsteinGroup, #NATO defence ministerial & #MunichSecurityConference, I share insights with #Finnish national broadcaster Yle about what we may expect from #Trump, #NATO #defence spending, #Ukraine, & #NATO-#EU relations yle.fi/a/7-10072424

It was a pleasure to talk to #LeFigaro about how #Russian infiltration & interference in the #EU #institutions is a systemic threat, and what to do about it A link, with paywall: www.lefigaro.fr/internationa...

Grateful & honoured to come across my #EPC commentary on “Russia’s war against #Ukraine: lessons on #human #security” referenced in #NATO Academic publication 2024 on “Alliances and Partnerships in a Complex and Challenging Security Environment” www.act.nato.int/wp-content/u...

I tell a leading newspaper of South Korea that "Trump may divide #Europe by holding #defense spending in one hand and #tariffs in the other" m.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/A2...

Thrilled that my piece on #civilpreparedness made it to #Richmond, #Virginia, #US International Policy Digest intpolicydigest.org/a-right-to-r... #NATO #EU #Ukraine #totaldefence #comprehensivesecurity

European Policy Centre defence analyst @mariamartisiute.bsky.social explains why the EU could follow the Finnish preparedness model — and, of course, spend bucket loads more on defence. For @tvpworld.bsky.social. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6VX...

It is everyone’s right to know how to prepare for & survive crisis & war when the unthinkable happens. As “security is the foundation of everything,” according to the high-level EU report by the former Finnish President #Niinistö, then civil preparedness is the foundation of every citizen’s rights

I tell Euronews that it is a near certainty that NATO #military #defence spending will rise. It will be a mixed picture overall but some Allies may reach 5% target in the years to come #Civil #defence must be considered too. We must talk civil-military defence expenditure as #comprehensivesecurity
