European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Europe must be ready to use force decisively and preemptively to defend itself, highlighting the need for a new European security strategy including a new doctrine.

Europe must be ready to use force decisively and preemptively to defend itself and should learn from Ukraine's example.

Russia deliberately targeted Azerbaijan's energy infrastructure and embassy during attacks against Ukraine, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said.

Europe has entered a new era shaped by overt great-power politics

The international order based on rights and rules no longer exists in this form

Europe's first task is to recognize the new reality and prepare for the new time

Germany's foreign and security policy would remain European in its foundations

Germany's goal is to make the Bundeswehr the strongest conventional military in Europe as quickly as possible

Putin's plans have suffered a serious defeat: instead of Russification, Ukraine has chosen the European path of development; instead of weakening NATO, the Alliance has expanded with the accession of Sweden and Finland; instead of a quick occupation, the war has been going on for four years.

Putin is avoiding dialogue and showing no willingness to make peace, while the Russian economy is already under serious pressure.

The international community must continue to put pressure on Russia to force it to the negotiating table.
