The Black Sea will be safe again. Two F-16 from the Romanian Air Force shot down two aerial drones that entered our airspace without authorization over the Black Sea. The military informed that the first drone entered the national airspace at 17:59 and was shot down within 2 minutes, 25km SE of Sulina. The second drone, in the same area, was engaged and shot down at 18:05, 4 minutes after entering the national airspace, 20km E of Sulina. The Black Sea serves as a critical maritime artery for the global export of grain, energy resources, and industrial commodities, making its stability vital to international food and energy security. We have briefed our Allies and EU partners. Our military has prepared for an increased intensity of hybrid interference and will continue to prioritize air defence and maritime security. At Romania’s initiative, we will have a dedicated meeting of the North Atlantic Council on Tuesday to discuss Black Sea defence and deterrence. Romania and Bulgaria are in close contact at all levels for increased coordination and accelerate operational steps towards the establishment of the EU Maritime Security Hub in the Black Sea. @vpetrova_mfa @MFABulgaria

Europe has stood by Ukraine since Russia started its war. And that is one of the reasons Russia has failed to achieve its goals. To end the war, we must pressure Russia, not Ukraine. Europe has the strength and influence to make a difference. My doorstep ahead of today’s European Council meeting ↓

Ken McCallum said the ramp up in alleged Russian hybrid attacks across Europe had come as Russia's military progress in Ukraine was "minimal and horrifically costly." #EuropeNews ➡️ l.euronews.com/20g6

Podpalenie stacji @Starlink na Mazowszu. Dwóch podejrzanych ustalonych. Obaj zatrzymani❗️ To efekt skutecznych działań @ABW_GOV_PL i ścisłej współpracy z @PolskaPolicja i @CBSPolicji. Dzięki ustaleniom funkcjonariuszy zidentyfikowano dwóch obywateli Turcji podejrzanych o podpalenie naziemnej stacji bazowej łączności satelitarnej Starlink. Dziś obaj mężczyźni zostali zatrzymani przez niemieckie służby na podstawie Europejskiego Nakazu Aresztowania. Oczekują na przekazanie stronie polskiej. Śledztwo prowadzi @PK_GOV_PL. Na miejscu trwają dodatkowe czynności dochodzeniowo-śledcze. „Bezpieczeństwo trzeba zapewniać tu i teraz” - podkreślał niedawno Minister Koordynator Służb Specjalnych @TomaszSiemoniak. Ta sprawa pokazuje, jak te słowa przekładają się na konkretne działania. Skuteczne rozpoznanie. Współpraca służb. Konkretne rezultaty. Państwo działa. ABW nie odpuszcza. #ABW_GOV_PL #MisjaBezpiecznePaństwo

EU Foreign Ministers just adopted nearly 1,600 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex. This is the single largest expansion of our sanctions list since Russia started its war. Europe is again showing a united front. More than half are connected to the production chain for ballistic missiles. We are making it significantly harder, slower and more expensive for Russia to produce the weapons it uses to kill Ukrainians.

Ředitelé evropských zpravodajských služeb v posledních dnech veřejně varují před hrozící eskalací ruské hrozby i mimo Ukrajinu. Proč k takto výjimečnému kroku přistoupili? To dnes v Poslanecké sněmovně vysvětloval ředitel BIS Michal Koudelka: “Teď tady máme další velmi důrazné varování amerických partnerů a ve stejné době zaznívají z Ruska opět hlasy, že ruské obyvatelstvo v pobaltských zemích je utiskováno, že NATO z Pobaltí ohrožuje Rusko. Tenhle scénář už známe a teď prostě nechceme a nemůžeme mlčet. Když dojde v Evropě k sabotážnímu útoku s jasnou ruskou stopou na cíl spojený s pomocí Ukrajině tak jako se to mělo stát v Lipsku, už nebudou Rusové moci říct my to nebyli, protože my říkáme celému světu, víme, že to plánujete. Když dopadne ruský dron nebo raketa na sklad zbraní v nějaké evropské zemi a Rusové budou říkat, že to byl omyl, chyba navigace apod., tak my říkáme celému světu: víme, že právě tohle je váš plán. A když začnou Rusové hromadit vojska u hranic s některou z pobaltských zemí a říkat, že jde pouze o cvičení, tak my říkáme celému světu, nevěříme vám a jsme připraveni se bránit a zvítězit.  A právě proto, že to říkáme takhle jasně z pozic ředitelů evropských zpravodajských služeb, tak zužujememe Rusům možnost ovlivnit část světové veřejnosti a získat ji na svojí stranu.”

This morning, russians struck two passenger buses in Kramatorsk. Local authorities now report 30 people killed and 18 injured! People simply travelling through their city are now dead. Ukraine is in mourning. A day of mourning has been declared today for those killed in Pryluky in yesterday’s russian attack. On Putin’s birthday. 22 people killed. Five of them children. 54 people injured. All night, rescue crews cleared the rubble of their homes. All night, they searched for people. They kept finding bodies. Last night in Kyiv, a russian drone hit a block of flats. Two people were killed as they slept. Four more were hurt. This war never pauses. Not for grief. Not while families wait for news. Not while the dead are still being recovered from underneath the rubble. My heart is with the families and loved ones in Kramatorsk, Pryluky and Kyiv. 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦

Russia's missiles and drone violations of Moldova’s airspace over recent days are unacceptable. The Kremlin is putting lives at risk across the continent. The European Peace Facility remains the backbone of Moldova's defence modernisation. Our support through the Facility now stands at €317 million euro, making Moldova the second-largest recipient worldwide. My press conference with Prime Minister @Vasile_Tofan and @MartaKosEU following the EU-Moldova Association Council ↓

Russia has a message for foreign diplomats in Kyiv: leave, or risk your lives. Our answer: We are staying. The EU Delegation is staying. Threatening us will not stop Europe’s support for Ukraine. It only reminds us why that support matters! 🇪🇺🤝🇺🇦 @EUDelegationUA

👑 Već 34 godine za redom prve listopadske nedjelje, uoči blagdana Blažene Djevice Marije od Krunice, Hrvatska vojska i policija i 🇭🇷 branitelji hodočaste Majci Božjoj Bistričkoj. 🙏🏻 To je put njihova zavjeta za mir. Zahvalni na njezinoj blizini i pomoći u Domovinskom ratu, žele joj i u sadašnjem vremenu iskazati privrženost i vjernost. 👉🏼 Tako je bilo i ove nedjelje gdje sam nazočio 3️⃣4️⃣ hodočašću Hrvatske vojske, policije i hrvatskih branitelja u Nacionalnom svetištu te misnom slavlju koje je predvodio vojni ordinarij msgr. Jure Bogdan. 👉🏼 Ovo tradicionalno okupljanje, koje traje više od tri desetljeća, važno je svetište duhovne snage, zajedništva i zahvalnosti. 🕯️Hodočašće u Mariju Bistricu prilika je da se u molitvi prisjetimo svih koji su podnijeli žrtvu za slobodnu i neovisnu Hrvatsku te da iskažemo poštovanje prema 🇭🇷 braniteljima i njihovim obiteljima. Uz pripadnike Hrvatske vojske i policije, hrvatske branitelje, HRVI i obitelji poginulih, nestalih i umrlih hrvatskih branitelja, na hodočašću su se okupili i pripadnici vatrogasne zajednice te brojni vjernici. 👏🏼 Zahvaljujem Vojnom ordinarijatu u RH na organizaciji ovog dostojanstvenog susreta. Vjera i molitvena tradicija i danas su nam snažan oslonac u očuvanju temeljnih vrijednosti i izgradnji stabilne i sigurne Domovine.

➡️ Danas sam u Zagrebu otvorio 4️⃣ konferenciju članova SK@UT zajednice, našeg nacionalnog sustava za otkrivanje i zaštitu od kibernetičkih prijetnji. ➡️ SK@UT smo počeli graditi prije osam godina, kao temelj za razvoj nacionalne kibernetičke otpornosti. Danas je to vrijedan primjer suradnje državnih i nedržavnih dionika u zaštiti 🇭🇷 kibernetičkog prostora. ➡️ Naš cilj je graditi organizacije koje su u mogućnosti: 🔹 pravodobno prepoznati prijetnju 🔹 prevenirati incidente i 🔹 učinkovito odgovoriti kada do njih dođe. ☑️ Kibernetička sigurnost sastavni je dio nacionalne sigurnosti i zato će Vlada RH i dalje biti aktivno uključena u razvoj ovog područja, stvaranje uvjeta za inovacije i jačanje otpornosti hrvatskog društva i gospodarstva 🇭🇷 🔝SK@UT ostaje naš važan nacionalni projekt 💪🏼

🌊 The second session of the #MED9 meeting in Trogir, held under Croatia’s Presidency, focused on the geopolitical and security aspects of EU enlargement. With @DanielMarkic, Director of the EU Intelligence and Situation Centre (EU INTCEN), as special guest, Ministers and State Secretaries discussed resilience, hybrid threats and foreign information manipulation and interference, as well as the importance of a credible, merit-based enlargement process grounded in reforms and shared European values.

The Kremlin’s pursuit of the conquest of Ukraine is not only a tragedy for the Ukrainian lives lost, but also for the soaring numbers of Russians being sacrificed on the battlefield.
