Over four years of war, one word vanished from the Western agenda: victory. NATO's former deputy commander in Europe is the only senior figure still demanding it—and a plan to reach it. euromaidanpress.com/2026/06/27/n...

Russia is intensifying its attacks on Europe & the US is withdrawing from its commitments to European security. Europe is stuck between a rock & a hard place. What can European govs do in the next 1-2 years to improve deterrence & readiness efforts? Read suggestions in my new report buff.ly/rwfLU1S

🚨🚨New research by @smfthinktank.bsky.social think tank reveals that social media groups fuel misinformation in UK. Misinformation was nearly three times more common in areas with little or no recognised local journalism. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

🇺🇦 Important signal from US Congress: The House just passed the Ukraine Support Act by a vote of 226-195 to provide military aid to Ukraine and impose tough sanctions on Russia.

❗️🇺🇦Ukrainian drone operators took part in the military exercises Aurora 26 in 🇸🇪Sweden, where they shared their frontline combat experience and drone warfare tactics with NATO service members.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

FEDOROV: We had meeting with SAAB today. We believe Gripen jets can change situation in Ukraine’s skies. This is one of the best aircraft in the world, and we're working to acquire them. In few months, there will be good news for Sweden and Ukraine, and bad news for Russians.

My latest on 🇩🇪Germany: If realized, #Zeitenwende could anchor #Germany’s role as a credible leader in the #Baltic Sea region. But success ultimately hinges on whether Berlin can deliver on implementation. @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/z...

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

The election results illustrate tfe power of democracy and the failure of foreign interference. A good day for Hungary and Europe - more to come!

The US will use European funding earmarked for Ukraine to restock its own inventories instead in light of the Iran war. NATO will have a difficult time getting allies to support the PURL initiative ahead. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Thanks to #NATO ASG Boris Ruge for joining us today in the 🇸🇪 Parliament together with NATO PA Delegation led by Karin Enström and members of parliament for a fruitful discussion on current affairs affecting the alliance. @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Just 600 Patriot missiles — that’s all Ukraine has received during four years of Russia’s full-scale invasion. By comparison, more than 800 Patriot interceptors were fired in just days in the Middle East during the recent US-Israeli war with Iran. www.kyivpost.com/post/71513

Pressumably paving the way to join the French initiative on European nuclear deterrence alongside Sweden, Denmark, Poland and others.

According to Rheinmetall CEO Papperger in an interview with Table Today, there is currently a lack of funding for #Ukraine and much more could be provided in terms of military aid if only someone would pay for it. Papperger listed ammunition, air defence systems & tanks among the potential supplies.

"We need a plan". In Munich, hopes for a bold and unified initiative did not materialize, underscoring Europe's struggles to move from rhetoric to coordinated action. 👇Read my take from #MSC2026 @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/w...

There is no room for European allies, including UK, to lag behind on defence spending, Europe urgently needs real capabilites for credible deterrence. I talked to @cathynewman.bsky.social @listentotimesradio.bsky.social on #MSC2026 insights. Watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=EPrY...

På plats i München svarade jag på tittarnas frågor om #MSC2026, många funderingar kring USA, Europa och relationen framåt. ✅Titta gärna👇 @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social www.svtplay.se/video/KBMYQ1...

European allies should take the lead in #NATO and shift it toward a Europe-led alliance, I argue w Rachel Ellehuus @rusi.bsky.social As the discussions at #MSC2026 showed, it is time for Europeans to move beyond talk, roll up their sleeves and get to work. 👇 www.euractiv.com/opinion/the-...

I really enjoyed kicking off #MSC2026 with a public Townhall on European Defense, live streamed with excellent questions from citizens and civil society. Engaging the public is vital for readiness, resilience and defense investments. @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social

Where to look for new models of pol and mil cooperation? Look North! In our latest, @LouiseBlomqvis3 and I argue that pairing words with action has elevated Nordic-Baltic states to lead in #Europe. @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @louiseblomqvist.bsky.social www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/h...

“Everyone can understand if the US needs to be more present [in Greenland] … for instance when it comes to surveillance and missile defense, but we hope that this will not be something that escalates within the alliance,” @annwieanna.bsky.social shared on Deep Dish last year. brnw.ch/21wZ7M7

Not sure Denmark and Greenland believed they could win them over immediately. Most importantly diplomacy will continue in a high-level group.

This is encouraging from Congress to protect Greenland🇬🇱 and the Kingdom of Denmark🇩🇰 and preserve NATO. 🇺🇸New, bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate: www.murkowski.senate.gov/press/releas...

“The move on Venezuela illustrates the Trump administration’s determination to dominate the Western Hemisphere – of which Greenland geographically is a part,” I told @JTPsaropoulos aje.io/0hr28i via @AJEnglish @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social @isdp-sweden.bsky.social

One of the most massive Russian attacks on Kyiv. Russia carried out continuous strikes overnight using ballistic and cruise missiles as well as drones, deliberately targeting civilian and critical infrastructure. 40 sites were damaged in Kyiv, including 20 residential buildings.

In my latest piece I argue that the survival of #NATO is at stake if the United States intervenes to seize #Greenland, and that such a development would be contrary to #US national interests. Read the article⬇️ @atlanticcouncil.bsky.social www.atlanticcouncil.org/dispatches/t...

An important signal by the big European states supporting Denmark on #Greenland. The future of NATO is at stake.

This is an extraordinary posting by the wife of one of Trump's closest advisers Steve Miller. Combined with recent statements that the US "needs" Greenland and its strive to dominate the western hemisphere, threats against Greenland must be taken very seriously.
