“We are in a crisis of European security, but a strong Europe has always been built through crisis.”

Today, von der Leyen addressed the European Parliament. With ‘Who Will Defend Europe ?’ by @keirgiles.bsky.social in mind, we take responsibility for securing Europe ourselves.

While national governments are responsible for protecting their citizens, today’s threats are too complex to be tackled alone. We need a united European response.

Space is becoming the next battlefield - we see it in 🇺🇦 Ukraine, where satellites help operate drones defending freedom.

That’s why we’re ensuring #EUSecurity by secure observation, secure navigation & secure communication.

Donald Tusk @donald-tusk.bsky.social · Mar 6

The war, the geopolitical uncertainty and the new arms race started by Putin have left Europe with no choice. Europe must be ready for this race, and Russia will lose it like the Soviet Union 40 years ago. From today, Europe will arm itself more wisely and faster than Russia.

We must ensure:

✔️ Autonomous development
✔️ Reliable & cost-effective access to space
✔️ Services for public & private operators – including #EUDefence

These capabilities are essential for #EUSecurity & resilience.

When we defend space, we are defending our economies.
The security of our satellites is the security of our societies.

And it is in every EU Member State’s interest that we address the challenges together.
