Sweden’s support for Ukraine is unwavering and truly impressive.
🇸🇪 support for 🇺🇦 defence amounts to €10 bln in total since the start of the war.
This level of support would amount to €450 bln for the entire EU.

Good takeaways from my #MissileTour in Sweden 🇸🇪 🇪🇺
Impressed by the scale-up of #Saab missile production.
It’s a great example of what European defence industry can achieve.
#ProtectWhatMatters
#EUDefence
At my #MissileTour I see: ramping-up 🇪🇺 #DefenceReadiness means not only producing more. It also means producing more effectively, faster, cheaper&more together.
🇸🇪 MoD Pål Jonson & defence industry #Saab know how to do it.
At @ec.europa.eu we’ll scale this knowledge to 🇪🇺 level.
#ProtectWhatMatters
Kicking off my #MissileTour in Sweden - pleased to meet Minister Pål Jonson. We speak the same language: strong defence.
We discussed: support to Ukraine, challenges and progress in strengthening, transforming & scaling up 🇸🇪 and 🇪🇺 defence industries for our #DefenceReadiness

Hej Sverige! 🇸🇪
Today I’m in Sweden as part of my #MissileTour, visiting defence industry facilities.

Europe & Ukraine 🇺🇦 need stronger air defence, and Sweden’s industry can deliver.

I decided to start my #MissileTour in Poland because 🇵🇱 is key for the future of Europe’s defence, for the future of Europe’s defence industry and for missiles production in Europe, and for Ukraine.

At 🇵🇱 #MESKO we saw clear evidence of what 🇪🇺 & 🇵🇱 defence industry can deliver.
There is a high demand for air defence and anti-ballistic defence in Europe. Poland has all the capabilities to move towards that, to serve the Polish needs, but also the needs of Europe.
#MissileTour 🇪🇺🇵🇱

🇪🇺#SAFE loans are there to boost our defence industry.
🇵🇱 Poland is the biggest beneficiary of SAFE. With 43.7 billion euro for 127 projects. For Polish industry, workers, jobs in Poland & boosting 🇵🇱 economy.

NATO SG Mark Rutte said: Europe needs a "400% increase in air and missile" defence.
After the Iranian crisis - it became even more urgent for us in Europe to ramp up production of air-defence and anti-ballistic missiles.
#MissileTour 🇪🇺🇵🇱

Increasing demand for air-defence in the EU is an opportunity for European defence industry.
