European Leaders Unite to Bolster Defence Amid Shift in US Ukraine Policy
ai generated text
Leaders endorsed the ReArm Europe plan introduced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which includes activating the national escape clause under the Stability and Growth Pact in a coordinated manner and offering member states up to 150 billion euros for a new EU instrument.
My absolute priority will be to strengthen Europe as quickly as possible so that, step by step, we can really achieve independence from the USA.
We are in an era of rearmament, and Europe is ready to massively boost its defence spending.
This is a watershed moment for Europe and Ukraine as part of our European family. It's also a watershed moment for Ukraine.
With this equipment, member states can massively step up their support to Ukraine.
We must ensure, with cool and wise heads, that US support is also guaranteed in the coming months and years, because Ukraine is also dependent on their support for its defence.
We all have to make an effort and an expedited effort with respect to what we had previously set for the year 2029.
He's making a historical error: Napoleon waged conquests. The only imperialistic power I see in Europe right now is Russia.
Whatever happens in Ukraine, we need to build autonomous defense capacities in Europe.
I know President Putin well. If he's reacting like that, it's because he knows what I said is true.
Europe's future does not have to be decided in Washington or Moscow.
He is an imperialist who seeks to rewrite history.
He was probably piqued by the fact we're exposing his game.
In 2025, the EU will provide Ukraine with 30.6 billion euros, financed by Russian assets.
The United States was the pillar around which peace was managed, but it has changed alliance.
Trump mouths the propaganda of Putin. We have entered a new epoch.
The president has asked Europe to step up, and we are. The UK is ready to take on a leadership in that task.
I think it is very, very important that we avoid the risk of the West dividing.
And I think that in this the UK and Italy can play an important role in building bridges.
