00:00Unfortunately, we all see that Russia is stepping up its destructive actions and what matters most for Europe's security now is political will.
00:12And that was the main topic today.
00:16We feel that Europeans are clearly determined to respond and to respond properly to the growing drone threat.
00:25Russian drones have gone too far. Dangerous incidents with Russia have also gone too far.
00:34Denmark drones. Our military guys with solid experience in drones are now in Denmark and we will share their experience and their expertise.
00:45And I hope today's meeting will strongly support the idea of joint defense against drones.
00:51It can be called anything. I mean, a drone wall, a drone dome or drone rabbit response.
00:59But the point is the same.
01:01Every country must be, of course, must be protected from spy strike and any other drones.
01:08And today we talked a lot about the battlefield in Ukraine, about how our soldiers are stopping Russian assaults.
01:21And Russia planned a lot of this year, but has achieved very, very little.
01:31And this is thanks to our soldiers and to everyone who helps us.
01:35Russia is making many mistakes, and that is why we need to increase the pressure and increase the pressure now so that they are forced to end the war and change their policy.
01:48The EPC brings countries together from all over Europe, of course, with very different views on many different matters.
01:55But all these differences are not so important anymore because of the great challenge that we share, the threat from Russia against Europe.
02:06And that is why our common task is as simple as it is now serious.
02:12We have to be able to defend ourselves and we have to defend the values that we believe in.
02:17And I will not allow one country, and I will certainly not allow Richard Orban to take decisions upon the entire European future.
02:28So I don't know what middle ground is, but if middle ground means that we won't do what is the best thing to do for Europe,
02:35then I don't think middle ground is a good idea.
02:38So we have to continue to try to find a solution and a way with Hungary.
