The world’s strongest leaders, including the President of the U.S., have already told Russia that this war must end. However, Putin wants to keep fighting. That is why he must face conditions that make it impossible for him to keep this war going. We are creating those conditions through our long-range strikes on Russian military and oil facilities. Our medium-range sanctions are also having an effect. They make it harder for Russia to occupy our territory, our lives, and we are doing everything we can to make the occupation unbearable for the occupier. I want to thank everyone who supports our efforts. And I urge you to continue this support through new European Union sanctions. From a speech at the opening ceremony of Ireland’s presidency of the Council of the EU. (2/3)
🚀 #DESummerSummit has begun. Today, policymakers, industry leaders and international partners come together to discuss one big question: How can Europe strengthen its digital sovereignty while remaining globally competitive? Follow this threat for live updates!
@IOInteractive Just finished. Its amazing! More content please!!
‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions. «The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.
€4B defense package agreed with Germany 🇩🇪 This is a massive boost for our air defense: funding for several hundred Patriot missiles and 36 IRIS-T launchers to protect our cities and critical infrastructure. Grateful to Boris Pistorius and German leadership for support.
This effort is an extension DIGITALEUROPE’s AI & Tech CEO Declaration in the State of the Union for the European Union address. The CEO letter is open for signature for all companies and has been signed by 76 European and international CEOs to date.
DIGITALEUROPE has several members who have abandoned projects using AI because of the hassle and high cost of complying with high-risk provisions. It doesn’t have to be this way. Let’s take some time to get the AI Act right. Complying with the AI Act can cost a small company
I foresee much success and rapid advancements in innovation for Ukraine with the appointment of @FedorovMykhailo @DIGITALEUROPE stands in strong support for Ukraine.
