Thank you, Antonio,

and we have had a substantial and constructive and long meeting today here in Copenhagen.

We meet at a time when Russia has intensified their attacks in Ukraine,

where we have seen Russian airspace violations and unwanted drone activity in several European countries.

They are threatening us and they are testing us, and they will not stop. So what are our next steps?

First of all,

We have to step up our military and financial support for Ukraine.

We talk a lot about security guarantees to Ukraine, but in fact it is the other way around. Ukraine is today Europe's security guarantee.

Our support to Ukraine is a direct investment in our own security,

and therefore we have to deliver long term financing of Ukraine's armed forces,

you have presented a model that will front load.

Future war reparations by Russia to Ukraine, I strongly support the idea,

and to me it is only fair that Russia pays for its violation and destruction.

As the Presidency, we will work actively to take this idea forward.

We all, except one,

also reaffirmed our backing for Ukraine's EU accession process.

Reforms, as you just said, Antonio, have been implemented in Ukraine despite very difficult circumstances,

and now it is up to us to deliver.

Secondly, Europe must be able to defend itself.

We have to rearm Europe,

and right now we see a large surge in defense investments across our continent. It is good.

Billions of euros have been committed already, but it is not enough.

So achieving the 2030 target is a Danish priority.

We have been pushing for an ambitious approach,

and today I would say there was a broad

support for the Commission's scoping paper for a 2030 roadmap.

Now we have to translate it into concrete action and

milestones before our next meetings in a few weeks from now.

We have also discussed this idea about flagships.

We need to strengthen our production of drones, of anti drone capabilities,

and this includes building up a European network of anti drone

measures that can detect and of course also neutralize intrusion from outside.

So we have to create a European ecosystem that will enable.

Europe to develop cutting edge drone solutions, inspired by what they are doing in Ukraine already.

Thirdly, while strengthening Ukraine and Europe, we have to weaken Russia.

And therefore we already now looking into the next sanction package, targeting the financing of Russia's war machine,

and, of course, we will work with this as the Presidency as well. Everybody knows what is at stake.

I think our main goal is simply to build

a Europe so strong that war will be an option.

This is our main task in these weeks and months and unfortunately also years, and I think we We have had

good discussions today and now we are ready to take the next steps, and let me pass the floor to you.
