- New piece for @centreeuropeanref.bsky.social on the EU’s Defence Readiness 2030 Roadmap: It's a much needed attempt to accelerate and bring coherence to Europe’s defence ramp-up, but its success hinges on both political will and sustained investment www.cer.eu/insights/eu-...
- Pleased to share my new piece on how Europe can navigate the 'grey zone' Russia's hybrid warfare is meant to test Europe’s defences and unity. Europeans should be more assertive. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...
- According to Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson deliveries of the Gripen to Ukraine will start in 3 years With that timeframe, the Gripens will contribute to deterrence in a hypothetical ceasefire scenario, rather than contributing to Ukraine's defence now. www.defensenews.com/global/europ...

- New piece for @euiss.bsky.social: The ability to rapidly move forces and supplies around Europe is a crucial component of European deterrence. But infrastructure gaps, shortages in transport assets, and administrative hurdles continue to impede military mobility. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

- Pleased to see my analysis on Europe’s emerging “capability coalitions” — small groups of countries cooperating more closely on defence — quoted in this weekend's FT Europe Express. These coalitions can accelerate progress where national needs align. www.ft.com/content/ed59...
- New piece for @euiss.bsky.social Europe’s effort to rebuild its defences hinges on whether Europeans can cooperate more effectively with each other and with Ukraine. EU instruments can play a key role in driving this effort forward. www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

- Interesting progress on the question of how US support for a post-war reassurance force in Ukraine. However, US involvement is conditional on Europeans deploying 'tens of thousands' in Ukr. A tall order: recent planning has focused on air and naval support + training. www.ft.com/content/66ec...

- New brief for @euiss.bsky.social I argue Europeans can mitigate the impact of reduced US support to Ukraine by: - Boosting defence production in UKR and Europe - Investing in critical missing capabilities like intel - Purchasing equipment for UKR from the US www.iss.europa.eu/publications...

- My assessment of the EU's defence plan - Overall, movement in right direction - EU creating space for more national defence spending - Greater openess to partnerships - incl with UK - Emphasis on regulation working well for defence industry - Increasing spending and co-op is up to member-states
