@swedishPM and I just announced that Sweden is joining the Leopard 2 tank coalition. Sweden will give up to 10 Leopard 2 A5 main battle tanks to Ukraine. This, with the 50 CV90 infantry fighting vehicles on the way, will significantly strengthen the armed forces of Ukraine. (1/7)

Our new report argues that a "deterrence-by-denial" bubble should be created in northern #Europe . Local armed forces in the region would be so strong that Russia would not dare to attack them or could not be confident that it would win if it did. Thread👇

Civil society in #Ukraine plays an important role in documenting war crimes and for the possibility of having national elections in 2024. Crucial to do even better in European support as the war continues to exhaust the Ukrainian society, says @D_Schwarzer @Europeanconf
