Europe steps up and takes greater responsibility for its defence.
The @EUCouncil agreed on a defence loan package via our Security for Action for Europe.
SAFE will support EU countries' defence with up to €150 billion, enabling them to spend better, together, and European ↓

Every couple of years, a fundamental misunderstanding between the East and the West of Europe reappears re. the WW2. In the occupied Western parts, life went on as before. Sartre continued writing & his plays were shown in theaters. Simone kept on sipping coffee at Les deux magots. Literary soirees were celebrated. People went to their jobs. Some food items became unavailable, and people listened to Radio London. Life in Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen, Amsterdam went on as before except for occasional raids on Jewish people.

Time to move Europe’s capital to a livable city in the middle of the continent so equally (in)accessible to all, east, west, north and south.
How about Prague?
Shootings, debt and political paralysis show Brussels is falling apart.

The EU published its White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030 in March. What does it mean for the future of European defense and Ukraine?
@PetrVTuma explains that this roadmap is not a silver bullet for Europe's security:

Created this basic family tree for Ahmad al-Shar'a based on his father's book on the family's history in recent generations. Thought it might be of interest. Happy to expand it if anyone has anymore details.

🇪🇺 Last month, the @EU_Commission unveiled a new white paper on strengthening European security.
To implement the report, member states must make significant financial commitments and navigate the bloc’s political divisions, writes @ACEurope’s @PetrVTuma:bit.ly/41S6t6n

🇨🇿 🇺🇦 Had a substantive meeting with the President of the Czech Republic @prezidentpavel in Kyiv. We discussed economic and defence industrial cooperation, in particular the establishment of high-tech companies. Ukraine is interested in attracting Czech investments. We have a network of industrial parks that open up new opportunities for foreign investors. I thanked the Czech Republic for its unwavering support to Ukraine. We appreciate the provision of important resources, support for the energy sector and the contribution to the reconstruction of infrastructure. The Czech Republic's patronage of the Dnipropetrovsk region is an effective tool for the recovery of local communities. We appreciate the Czech Republic's support to Ukraine on our path to EU membership.

🇨🇿 🇺🇦 Насичена зустріч з Президентом Чехії @prezidentpavel в Києві. Обговорили економічне та оборонно-промислове співробітництво, зокрема створення високотехнологічних підприємств. Україна зацікавлена у залученні чеських інвестицій. Для цього маємо мережу індустріальних парків, які відкривають нові можливості для іноземних інвесторів. Подякував Чехії за незмінну підтримку України. Цінуємо постачання критично важливих ресурсів, підтримку енергосектору та внесок у відбудову інфраструктури. Патронат Чехії над Дніпропетровською областю є ефективним інструментом відновлення місцевих громад. Цінуємо підтримку України на шляху до членства в ЄС.

The Trump administration has announced that it seeks to close @USAGMgov, which runs @RFERL, @VOANews, @RadioFreeAsia, and more. Reform is reasonable. What gain from mere destruction of US assets? usagm.gov/who-we-are/mission…

“Even in the event of a #Harris victory, the US would seize the opportunity to push for an end to the [#Ukraine] war, albeit more on Ukraine's terms than in the case of #Trump,” @PetrVTuma tells @trtworld. trtworld.com/magazine/as-tru…

Moment for global diplomacy historybooks:
Czech President @prezidentpavel welcomes former Taiwanese President @iingwen in Prague at Forum2000 conference.
How has this happened? Here is how the Czech President openly engages Taiwan:
2023: Czech President Pavel was the first European head of state (as president-elect then) to have direct phone call with then sitting Taiwanese president. Pavel told Tsai he wants to meet her in Prague.
2023: Czech President Pavel was the first European head of state to appear publicly alongside sitting Taiwanese Foreign Minister at @_EuropeanValues Summit.
2024: Czech President Pavel was the only European head of state to congratulate President @ChingteLai for his election.
And now, October 2024, former Taiwanese President @iingwen is welcomed by President @prezidentpavel in Prague:

Our diplomats from the Consulate General in Lviv are currently transporting a shipment of dryers provided by Ukraine to Czechia. Ukraine is at war, yet it does not forget its friends in need.
We appreciate it. 🇨🇿🫶🇺🇦 Дякую!
