"We will propose a new programme. We call it Qualitative Military Edge. It will support investment in the capabilities of the Ukrainian armed forces. [...] We can use our industrial strength to support Ukraine to counter this drone warfare. We can help transform Ukrainian ingenuity into battlefield advantage – and into joint industrialisation.

"Europe must be ready to take responsibility for its own security. [...] NATO will always be essential. But only a strong and credible European defence posture will be able to guarantee our security. We have made historic progress [...] to build our European Defence Union. Earlier this year, we launched Readiness 2030 which could unlock up to EUR 800 billion of defence investment. This includes the SAFE programme that is now ready to provide EUR 150 billion for joint procurement."

We must heed the call of our Baltic friends and build a drone wall."
