The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) reported that the June 1 “Spider Web” drone operation caused approximately $7 billion in damages and disabled 34% of cruise missile bombers in key Russian airbases.
The agency confirmed that more details about the attack will be revealed later.
“And you thought Ukraine was easy? Ukraine is exceptional. Ukraine is unique. All the steamrollers of history have rolled over it. It has withstood every kind of trial. It is tempered by the highest degree. In today’s world, its value is beyond measure,” the SBU wrote, quoting Ukrainian poet Lina Kostenko.
They also vowed to continue to drive Russian forces out of Ukrainian territory.
Can I ask your security assessment of:
The Transatlantic cables?
The recent network outages in Spain?
Transnistria?
Gagauzia?
The EU-Belarus border?
The North African migrant crisis?
The ongoing cyberattacks that have been hitting Europe for years?
The price of wheat?
Then I would ask your assessment of how much the EU should plan on relying on the USA for its security over the long term.
Threats to annex Greenland?
Threats to annex Canada?
Threats to seize control of the Panama Canal?
Kill switches in the F-35?
Sentiments expressed during the Signalgate Incident about the US doing all the work in securing the Red Sea?
Attempts to influence European elections?
Growing American control of the Western Internet?
Doubling the already over the top european military budget isn’t going to fix any of the things in your first list.

If european countries are concerned with USA instead of doubling their military budget they can simply cut and close the thousands USA military facilities all over europe.
Can I ask you to expand on that thought?
The north african migrant crisis is a direct result of european countries among others fucking up africa and the middle east. Doubling the military budget has the potential to make thing even worst.
