China’s critical raw material export squeeze has proven a powerful geo-economic weapon. What began as retaliation against US tariffs & tech restrictions is now a broader strategy to advance Beijing’s core interests.
We propose an emergency plan ⤵️

🇺🇸 Speaking to @nytimes about US plans to cut NATO forces in Europe, @gspataf95 noted that while each of these cuts can be managed individually, together they represent a significant posture change & pose broad challenges to European deterrence readiness. nytimes.com/2026/06/12/world…

“Those who focus solely on keeping Trump on board accept that the American president sets the agenda & dictates the terms. Those who come up with their own plan make European security a European responsibility at last, as it should be.” iss.europa.eu/publications/c…

The upcoming NATO summit in Ankara threatens to revolve around the same question again: how do we keep Trump on board?
Europe should focus less on managing Washington & more on building its own credible deterrence, argues @sbeverts.

The EU-Western Balkans Summit reaffirmed the region’s strategic relevance. But the political reality remains complex: unresolved disputes, recurring crises & stalled reforms continue to test both the region's European ambitions & the EU’s credibility. shorturl.at/7ULIL

🆕 Last week's EU-#WesternBalkans Summit reaffirmed the region's strategic importance and European future.
Yet unresolved regional disputes, political crises and reform setbacks show that enlargement cannot rest on geopolitics alone, argues @BojanaZori2. iss.europa.eu/publications/c…

What can the 🇪🇺 do? 1) Support 🇦🇲 democracy. 2) Invest more in connectivity. Lock everyone's commitment by shaping opportunities, and conversely costs if peace collapses. 3) Engage in conflict transformation. The durable peace needs a shared sense of justice and dignity too.

My quickfire commentary on Armenia 🇦🇲 elections.
Bottom line: A welcome win for Pashinyan and his vision which 🇪🇺 can support. But without parliamentary supermajority, and with two to three adversarial opposition parties in the parliament, peace process is under threat.

Despite Russian pressure, pro-EU PM Nikol Pashinyan won Armenia’s parliamentary election. But without a constitutional majority, the peace process with Azerbaijan remains fragile & will require sustained EU engagement, writes @oditrych. shorturl.at/SfShp

The EU's €90bn loan to Ukraine is ready to roll out. While some Member States pushed to channel funds into European defence capabilities and others sought more flexibility, the final deal was crafted to satisfy the bloc as a whole, explains @LScazzieri. euronews.com/my-europe/2026/…

Nikol Pashinyan scores a decisive victory in 🇦🇲 Armenia's parliamentary election. But the road to peace will be a rugged one as his Civil Contract party will most likely be short of a straightforward supermajority needed to call a referendum on a new constitution.

Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s Civil contract party has won a third term in power according to initial results, triumphing over the Russian-Armenian billionaire Samvel Karapetyan.
