Russia uses hybrid attacks to intimidate us into reducing support for Ukraine and easing pressure on Moscow. We must instead respond with more aid for Ukraine, sanctions on those responsible and fewer Schengen visas for Russian citizens, Minister Kęstutis Budrys told la Repubblica.

Why we need more EU-Ukraine defence cooperation:
- it would strengthen both Ukrainian and European security.
- testing weapons in real combat in Ukraine will give European defence firms an advantage.
- innovation that comes out of Europe-Ukraine cooperation will not stay within the defence sector.
