Grand Quadriga 2024 exercise for NATO   June 1, 2024 The Grand Quadriga 2024 (QUAD24) exercise, led by Germany, took place in Lithuania with the participation of troops from France, Lithuania and the Netherlands for now. The objective of this military exercise is to strengthen NATO's deterrence and defense by improving command and control, readiness and rapid response capabilities. QUAD24 is part of the large-scale NATO exercise called Steadfast Defender 2024 (STDE24), which involved 90,000 troops from all 32 NATO Allied countries. STDE24 demonstrated NATO's ability to defend all of its territory and the Allies' commitment to protecting each other from any threat. It is important to underline that these exercises are defensive in nature and are not aimed at a specific country, but serve to demonstrate preparedness against potential aggression.

Russo-Ukrainian War 2022-2024 - Independent situational analysis: March 14, 2024! SUMMARY: The Ukrainian defence forces does not have the long term capabilities to defend Ukraine against Russian occupation. The main problem is lack of access to war-trained personnel due to heavy losses, an insufficient new recruitment and training of soldiers and lack of people within Ukraine. Financial support from the US/EU cannot help this problem. Russia has superior capabilities in essential areas. The US/NATO/Partners do not have the capacities to send military equipment to a sufficient extent and at the same time maintain own defence capabilities. NATO countries act inconsistently and risk NATO security. Russia will win the war! NATO is about to lose the ability to win against Russia in a land war! STATE OF THE WAR: Look at the image with compiled text and data.

Regional #NATO defense plans & the practical implementation of these plans is the way forward for NATO. Why these plans are necessary and which air defense systems are needed are explained by Laurynas Kasčiūnas at our Kiel Security Conference.    NATO maneuvers and NATO remilitarization might trigger Russian fears, but there is also a flurry of Russian activity in terms of below-threshold activities, stresses Caroline Kennedy-Pipe. How she views the area of the #Arctic in this regard is highlighted in the video.    #Sweden is one of the latest members of NATO. However, they are ready from the start to contribute to the defense partnership. An inside view on the status and initial actions is provided by Patrik Gardesten. 

The former President of Finland Niinistö, as tasked by President von der Leyen, presented today a dedicated report on the challenges and the future of the EU Security and Defence. Key messages (among others): ▶️ The more insecure our world is the more money is needed for EU's security and defence 💶 ▶️ CFSP civilian and military operations (and exercises) should be strengthened 💪 ▶️ The European Peace Facility (EPF) should be endowed with sufficient resources 💸 ▶️ 2 new Facilities are suggested: Defending Europe Facility (DEF) & Securing Europe Facility (SEF) An observation from my side: interesting that, unlike Draghi report, there are no clear references to any need for a change in the CFSP decision-making processes (unanimity?).
