@2eubrussels.bsky.socialBruegel wants independent evaluations and measurable targets for EU defence spending in the 2028–34 budget. Its concern: procurement values show how much is bought, but not whether public funding increased capacity, reduced costs or improved outcomes. #EuropeanDefence #EUBudget
@2eubrussels.bsky.socialThe Commission has announced a €3.3bn payment to Ukraine for drone and missile procurement. It is the fourth defence payment under the €90bn EU support loan. No quantities or delivery dates were announced, and the payment is separate from pending Patriot procurement. #Ukraine #EuropeanDefence
@2eubrussels.bsky.socialParliament has backed a standard 42-working-day deadline for defence-project permits, wider general licences for intra-EU transfers and simpler military procurement. But the three legislative texts still require Council approval before final adoption. #EuropeanDefence #DefenceIndustry
@ciribulle.wsocial.eu🇪🇺 The Greenland agreement raises a bigger question.
Why does an EU Member State rely on Washington for the security of its own territory instead of on Europe?
A sovereign Europe needs a genuine common defence.

@2eubrussels.bsky.socialOPINION | Europe’s independence should be measured by what happens in the first hours of a crisis, Vasile Dîncu argues. For Romania, that means a Black Sea and Lower Danube plan combining surveillance, counter-drone defence, public warnings and resilient infrastructure. #EuropeanDefence #BlackSea
@2eubrussels.bsky.socialManfred Weber wants European defence integration to go beyond higher national budgets. His proposals include joint command structures, a single armaments market and common drone and satellite capabilities. No governments have agreed the architecture or implementation timetable. #EuropeanDefence
@behorizon.org🇪🇺🚀 Europe wants defence procurement to move at the speed of security challenges. The newly approved Omnibus V package cuts bureaucracy, boosts industrial capacity, and aims to accelerate Europe’s path from investment to readiness. #EuropeanDefence #ReArmEurope #Geopolitics
@2eubrussels.bsky.socialThe EU wants to develop the Freyja missile-defence system with Ukraine, combining Ukrainian interceptors and launchers with European technology and production. Freyja is still under development. No dedicated budget, contract or operational date has been announced. #Ukraine #EuropeanDefence
@emmanueljacob.bsky.socialEurope’s defence ambition is growing. The real test is whether spending, strategies and new structures translate into an actual capacity to act.

@2eubrussels.bsky.socialThe €90bn Ukraine loan shows the EU can overcome internal disagreement, Rym Momtaz argues. But the roughly 10 months between announcing and launching the EU–Ukraine Drone Alliance show the other problem: Europe’s decisions still move too slowly. #Ukraine #EuropeanDefence
@2eubrussels.bsky.socialThe Commission plans another SAFE allocation round once Member States’ final loan requests show how much of the €150bn ceiling remains unrequested. Kubilius announced neither the amount nor timetable. SAFE loans go to Member States, not directly to Ukraine. #SAFE #EuropeanDefence
