As we approach the NATO Washington Summit in July, what can NATO and the EU do together to reinforce the European pillar of NATO and European security overall? Three concrete recommendations in my commentary below, all actionable before US presidential elections in November ⤵️
🤝 Since Russia’s renewed aggression, NATO and the EU have performed well as security actors, but their support for #Ukraine has thus far mostly proceeded along parallel tracks and cooperation must be bolstered rather than efforts duplicated.

As the EU struggles with its credibility as an international actor, it must urgently revitalise and revamp its approach to multilateralism following the elections - read my blog entry for the @ensured_eu Horizon Europe project!
🗳️ It's EU election week!
Tensions are high & the challenges facing the next 🇪🇺 legislators are daunting. What is coming? And how will the election impact EU foreign policy?
@dylanmcrosson (@CEPS_thinktank) lays out what's at stake on the ENSURED blog. ensuredeurope.eu/blog/2024-e…
Was my pleasure to join @guillemriutord and the EEAS Conflict Prevention team for this timely discussion in view of forthcoming opportunities to further reinforce the EU's emphasis on peace! Some recommendations from our @Europarl_EN @EP_ForeignAff report ⤵️

Today we celebrate @NATO's 75th anniversary. A few thoughts to mark the occasion - and a picture of me as the 1997 NATO enlargement poster child used to lobby US Congress to support the entry of Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. A brief thread 🧵↩
In 2019, @EmmanuelMacron declared NATO brain-dead. Today, Russia's illegal war of aggression against Ukraine has given the NATO Alliance a second lease on life. NATO now resembles a sprightly young man - the Benjamin Button of security alliances as it were.

Pleasure to exchange with @jackschickler for this article!
Check out @dylanmcrosson's analysis on the EU's €5bn European Peace Facility (EPF) in @euronews. Despite significant debate, the end result is deemed 'administratively burdensome and democratically untransparent'. euronews.com/my-europe/2024/…
