As one partner said today during our meeting, Europe cannot protect itself without Ukraine. And it means Ukraine has to be in NATO.

Hegseth has removed numerous senior military leaders, intervened in promotions, centralized decision-making, and restricted access to information.

One example cited was the dismissal of Army Chief of Staff Randy George after months of tensions with Hegseth. George had sought a meeting to improve relations but was fired before it took place.

Many senior Pentagon personnel now avoid attracting attention from Hegseth’s office out of concern for potential career consequences, which some describe as an atmosphere of distrust and internal friction.

Hegseth’s office has rejected the claims, arguing that leadership changes were necessary to align the military with administration priorities.

AI is transformative — nature opens new possibilities. AI can help us build a stronger community, making our publicly founded social programs more efficient and more effective.

It allows us to deliver more personalized education and in return will unlock growth in America's economy.

Keep using artificial intelligence as a muse to open new pathways and ultimately to achieve personal growth and success.

We see public opinion that is increasingly critical in member states that haven't been so critical before.

As we are all democracies, governments also depend on their public opinion.

We see shifts.

They change the direction [of drones] to divide us in Europe, to pressure Europe, Finland, our Baltic friends, and then to use it like rhetoric that Ukraine attacked.

This is what they wanted from the very beginning — to divide us and the support of Ukraine in European countries.

We prefer the language of diplomacy, but we speak other languages far more fluently. Break your commitments, and we'll switch to what we speak best.

You ride the horse you saddled!

Europe can't just mediate, to my mind, because Europe stands on our side.

If EU mediates it means they will think about whether to put sanctions or not — because they're mediators, they have to be in the middle.

Europe has power to stop Putin.
