Former head of MI6, Sir Alex Younger on the new era of "strong men" and "hard power" in #geopolitics, how the range of outcomes for #Ukraine is wide open, why the global rules-based order could only exist under unipolarity, and why #Europe can't "free ride" on defense any longer and it must quickly build up the necessary military force. Sobering analysis. Worth watching. @BBCNewsnight

We have a deal. #Unity All 27 leaders agreed on an additional €50 billion support package for Ukraine within the EU budget. This locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for #Ukraine. EU is taking leadership & responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake.
