💬 "All of our capabilities in Iran is probably higher than what we have seen in the public domain. And what that's going to mean is that the U.S. defense industrial base is going to get blocked, I think quite soon, from selling internationally. And for a lot of companies is going to be a potential disaster because about 30-40% of our defense Prime's business is international" - says Dr Alina Polyakova @apolyakova, President and CEO, Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA).

💬 "If you look at the U.S. National Security Strategy, U.S. National Defense Strategy - this all tells us that the 🇺🇸 intends to limit its involvement in Europe. And I agree - this hasn't begun with Trump administration" - says Ignacy Niemczycki @ignacyn, Secretary of State, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of 🇵🇱

💬 Polish economy is very resilient because of its diversification. It's hard to name one sector or company that matters the most [...]
- Minister of Finance and Economy @Domanski_Andrz during PISM @Strategic_Ark 2026 on why the Polish economy stands out.

Over 700 tankers🚢 without reliable insurance, special forces operations on the high seas🌊, and opaque financial💰 mechanisms that allow Western sanctions to be circumvented – this is what the global network looks like that allows the Kremlin🇷🇺 to finance its war machine.
❗️OUR NEW PISM REPORT is dedicated to the Russian shadow fleet. In it, Elżbieta Kaca and @TymonPastucha answer questions such as:
🔹 How effective are the sanctions imposed by the G7+ nations on the Russian oil sector?
🔹 Where are the loopholes in the global shipping system, and why has the Baltic Sea become a high-risk zone?
🔹 What environmental threats are associated with the operation of the Russian shadow fleet?

🌎 The final panel at @Strategic_Ark focuses on a critical shift: "Americas First – Donald Trump’s plan for the Western Hemisphere."
➡️ @melissafordm argues that Trump sees regional stability as the US first line of defense, aiming to fill the vacuum left for malign actors.
➡️ According to @vmmijares, Trump’s approach is driven by a "triple logic": resource control, managing transnational threats, and access denial.
➡️ However, @olindasalguero warns that security isn't enough—the US must invest in development and regional connectivity to truly secure Central America.
➡️ The global impact? @BartekZnojek notes that the EU is already preparing for a potential "America First" return, accelerating the Mercosur deal and modernizing trade with Mexico as a strategic safeguard.
🚀 A fascinating conclusion to a vital conference!

Defense and space are two priority areas for 🇵🇱🇮🇳 and 🇪🇺🇮🇳 cooperation - we all agreed at the 🇵🇱🇮🇳 Dialogue on technological cooperation organised by @PISM_Poland and @orfonline as sideevent to our @Strategic_Ark 2026!👇
Today @orfonline co-hosted a roundtable on #India-#Poland-#EU defence cooperation at the annual Strategic Ark Conference organised by @PISM_Poland at #Warsaw. The Polish economy has dynamism and energy as visible in its defence-tech ecosystem - a perfect partner for India in this sector
Excellent interventions by Ministers Władysław Bartoszewski @PolandMFA and @M_Baranowski, Amb Neeta Bhushan @IndiainPoland and @Gen_RajShukla Ankit @ideaforge_tech @RLuthra @RachelRizzo

🌍Russia is treating the Baltic as its next testing ground, adapting lessons from Ukraine to improve its operational concepts. At @Strategic_Ark, experts @georgewbarros, @koziol_sasza, Maria Martisiute, and @Piotr_Niec_ discussed the urgent need for a coordinated response to "Grey Zone" activities.
➡️ From countering disinformation to bridging the gap in military preparedness, the time to disrupt Russia's escalation logic is now. 🌊🗺️

🌏🛡️ What does "strategic loneliness" look like for a global power?
➡️ At @Strategic_Ark, Lt. Gen. @Gen_RajShukla explored India’s National Security Strategy amidst the shifting character of war.
➡️ Between China, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, India faces a unique set of security challenges that demand both resilience and strategic autonomy. A vital session moderated by @PKugiel.

As I told the audience at @PISM_Poland - being alone is a choice, rather than reacting emotionally to the US, Europe should stop looking for the perfect partner that doesn’t exist and never existed and work proactively to ensure the long term strategic partnership w US
🛡️ Is Europe becoming "strategically lonely"? Session I of #StrategicArk took a deep dive into the Transatlantic relationship with @FHeisbourg, @AKFREEDOM, @ignacyn, and @apolyakova, moderated by @MTerlikowski. 🤝
➡️ The discussion moved beyond simple divisions. @ignacyn emphasized that EU defense cooperation is a pillar that strengthens #NATO, while @AKFREEDOM highlighted that our partnership thrives on energy and trade, with Poland and the Baltics playing a leading role.
➡️ @apolyakova (@CEPA) noted that while the "perfect partner" doesn't exist, the US and EU share a massive complementarity in competing with China.
➡️ However, challenges remain—@FHeisbourg warned of shifting political visions in Washington, and the panel discussed how global trade disruptions and Middle East tensions could impact defense contracts across the Atlantic.

🌏 During a session entitled: The Russia-China-DPRK Axis and the Threat to the Indo-Pacific and Euro-Atlantic Security, @Hiroakitanikkei delivered a masterclass in geopolitical metaphors: China is systemic "climate change" reshaping the world, Russia is a destructive "hurricane," and North Korea is an unpredictable "tornado." These forces are now converging into a single, dangerous axis.
➡️ The link is clear: @HallgrenJakob argues China is the ultimate "war enabler," without whom Russia couldn't sustain its invasion of Ukraine.
➡️ Meanwhile, Jun Hae-Won reminds us that defense starts with economic security.
Euro-Atlantic and Indo-Pacific security are now one. @Strategic_Ark

🌎 The "Wars and Wires" panel at @Strategic_Ark delivers a stark warning: we are entering a period of unprecedented energy volatility.
➡️ Petras Katinas (@RUSI_org) emphasizes that a Hormuz Strait blockade would dwarf previous crises, with a sudden 20% drop in global oil and gas supply.
➡️ Beyond the numbers, @wjakobik_en warns of risks to military mobility and jet fuel, while Elżbieta Kaca (@PISM_Poland) stresses the need to sink Russia's "shadow fleet" to maintain sanction pressure.
⚡️Energy security is the new front line of modern conflict.

Drugi dzień @Strategic_Ark rozpoczynamy od dużego forum polsko-indyjskiego łączącego reprezentantów rządów, think-tanków i biznesu. Na sali godna reprezentacja wszystkich środowisk zaangażowanych w rozwijanie tych relacji. Zmiana wektorów polityki bezpieczeństwa #Indie i ich konsekwentna reorganizacja na zachód może przyczynić się do bardzo owocnej współpracy w sferze politycznej i biznesowej.
