I am proud to report that my piece on European Strategic Autonomy has just come out in TWQ - I argue that the Covid pandemic, the Trump administration and Putin's invasion of Ukraine make the case for Europe's next chapter to be strategic autonomy: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

It took many months of research and no less than 6 authors (dream team: Andreea Brinza Richard Turcsanyi John Seaman Una Bērziņa-Čerenkova Stefan Vladisavljev ), to produce the enclosed #EU - #China report produced for the #EuropeanParliament - which has just been released today in Brussels.

On dit souvent que le régime russe annonce ce qu'il fait ou va faire. C'est le cas de Margarita Simonian, la patronne de RT et Sputnik et visage de la propagande d'Etat. L'intensification des opérations clandestines 🇷🇺 que nous observons en 🇫🇷 n'est pas si confidentielle :🧶1/11

We have a deal on the 13th package !

We are adding almost 200 persons and entities to our package of designations bringing over EU listings to over 2000.

With this package, we are taking more action against entities involved in circumvention, the defence and military sectors.

Grateful to Charles Michel and EU leaders for establishing the €50 billion Ukraine Facility for 2024-2027.

It is very important that the decision was made by all 27 leaders, which once again proves strong EU unity.

Continued EU financial support for Ukraine will strengthen

Yes, a long way.But still progress needed with the perception of a credibility gap with women in charge.
Anecdote: a colleague at the @nato Council once questioned privately whether the US takes us Europeans seriously, with so many women in charge of Europe in the US system (!).

Ahead of the European Parliament election, leaders are discussing the key issues that will shape European politics. ECFR's new survey explores how the big crises of the past 15yr reshaped the European political landscape & transcended traditional left-right & pro- and anti-EU divides.

Asked about what is the biggest risk (security threat) France is facing, the president Emmanuel Macron said 'the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine.'
