Dear @SwedishPM, you have made Ukraine the 1st priority of your presidency.
Russia’s imperial war also showed that we need to take greater responsibility for our collective security.
So I welcome your ambition to strengthen EU security & defence policy ↓ https://n.respublicae.eu/i/broadcasts/1mnGeRkReZYJX
