01:33After media reported no explosives were detected in the vehicle seized nearby.
01:39That east fears that an attack had been foiled but left many questions unanswered.
01:45As armed guards maintained a cordon around the nearby village,
01:49Washington questioned the decision to release on bail five men arrested near the Royal Air Force Fairfoot base in southwest
01:57England.
01:58Welcome to the program, I'm Stefan Grobe.
02:01With Europe facing escalating hybrid threats and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine,
02:07governments across the continent are racing to rebuild their armies and strengthen their defenses.
02:13Today, Euronews brings together the people shaping the defense of tomorrow,
02:18from procurement and intelligence to crisis response and military readiness,
02:23at our defense and space summits here in Brussels.
02:26NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is among the senior leaders joining us,
02:31alongside defense ministers, military commanders and industry chiefs.
02:35Our Europe editor Maria Tadeo is joining us now,
02:39and she'll be sitting down with Rutte later today.
02:42Good morning, Maria.
02:44So, European defense, what are the big themes we're looking out for here?
02:50Yes, good morning, Stefan.
02:51And it is very much about security, and it is very much about defense.
02:55We're seeing certainly in this continent an active war,
02:59the war in Ukraine in a sharp escalation since August.
03:03That ceasefire nowhere to be seen.
03:05That is having big security repercussions for the rest of the European Union.
03:10Obviously, it also impacts NATO supporting Ukraine in that war,
03:15but that has also complicated the picture, as you alluded to,
03:18with the perception of escalating, it's not just a perception, of course,
03:21but escalating hybrid warfare and hybrid attacks from Russia on the eastern flank.
03:26And certainly, there has been a sense over the past three weeks
03:29that this security picture, not just for Ukraine,
03:32but also for the rest of the European global security, has deteriorated.
03:36That is one of the questions that we'll put to our guests.
03:39The other big element to this conference really is about the defense industry,
03:44the contracts and the money, because there is money to be spent.
03:48You've seen it in some of the countries, including like yours,
03:51major money putting forward to rebuild armies in Europe.
03:54But when is this going to happen?
03:56What is the timeline?
03:57And also, how can you fix some of the delays and the bottlenecks
04:00when it comes to the procurement?
04:02There's another fundamental question, which really is, who do you buy from?
04:06Is this a made-in-Europe story, or do you still rely on the U.S. at this stage?
04:11There's another big location or dislocation, I should note,
04:14and that is President Trump pushing to a different strategy when it comes to NATO,
04:18that NATO 3.0, which sends a clear picture.
04:20Going forward, the Europeans need to take care of their security,
04:24and they will have to provide for their defense.
04:27Maria, you will be speaking with Mark Rutte.
04:31What do we expect?
04:34Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, the head of NATO at a difficult time,
04:38because there is, of course, an active war in Europe,
04:41but there is a second one in the Middle East,
04:43that is a war in Iran, having major repercussions in the energy market.
04:48Mark Rutte is also a man who has a difficult job at a difficult time.
04:51He needs to keep the alliance engaged.
04:54We've seen the Secretary General really pushing to take those wishes
04:57for President Trump to see more money spent in the alliance come to fruition.
05:02At the same time, he needs, and that is a big challenge to his job,
05:06to keep the U.S. aligned, and to keep the U.S. as an active participant
05:11in the security alliance that is NATO.
05:13Because, Stefan, let's be honest, if there is a ceasefire,
05:17both in Iran and in Ukraine,
05:19it is President Trump sitting around the table
05:21who is going to have, ultimately, a final say.
05:24So, this is a man who is leading an alliance at a fragile moment,
05:28but also an alliance where you see money really come to fruition.
05:31You see now countries stepping up,
05:33and you see those new defense targets and goals.
05:35Some of the questions, of course, I will put to Mark Rutte in this event.
05:39All right.
05:40Our Europe editor, Maria Tadeo, thank you very much.
05:44Ukraine is racing to scale up a new generation of intercepted drones
05:49as Russia increasingly deploys jet-powered drones in its attacks.
05:53Rio News gained exclusive access to an air defense position
05:57protecting the Kiev region
05:58and spoke exclusively to the head of Ukraine's presidential office,
06:02Kirill Budanov,
06:04about the technology being developed to counter the new threat.
06:07Our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina, joins us now from Kiev.
06:12Good morning, Sasha.
06:13So, what is the latest?
06:15What can you tell us?
06:21Another rather sleepless night here in the capital
06:24with the air defense working non-stop.
06:27Kiev residents woke up by around 3 a.m. local time
06:31with at least 10 explosions as Ukrainian air defense
06:34were intercepting the incoming ballistic missiles
06:36on top of the endless drone attacks.
06:39Now, Ukraine is currently working on the technology
06:42to intercept Russia's new jet-powered drones.
06:46And I spoke exclusively to Kirill Budanov,
06:49the head of the office of the president of Ukraine,
06:51who told me the technology is already being implemented.
06:53Moreover, it is being tested at the battlefield.
06:55And he said that the challenge now
06:57is to be able to scale up the production of these interceptors.
07:01But he is confident that it will be possible to do
07:04before the cold comes here, before the winter in Ukraine.
07:09And he also told Uranus confirmed
07:11that the countries who have already signed
07:13the drone deals with Ukraine
07:14or who are negotiating those drone deals with Kiev
07:18will have access to these new interceptors
07:21capable of stopping Russia's jet-powered drones.
07:26This isn't about any specific product.
07:29In principle, it's about cooperation between countries
07:32on similar products, so to speak.
07:34So Ukraine's latest technologies,
07:37which are currently being scaled up,
07:38including interceptors for jet-powered drones,
07:40could also become part of agreements
07:42with the European countries?
07:43Anyone who has made such agreements with us
07:46has the right to continue negotiations
07:47on specific products.
07:49Euronews was also given exclusive access
07:52to some of the air defense troops
07:54working in the Kiev region
07:56to see what the changing threat means for them,
07:59for those people who are indeed in charge
08:01of protecting the skies.
08:03Now, they told us that when a jet-powered drone
08:05is incoming, there are about 10 seconds
08:07before it can reach Kiev.
08:09And this is more or less the time
08:10that they also have to be able
08:12and to prepare to shoot it down,
08:14between 10 to 15 seconds.
08:16And of course, this intensity
08:18is taking its toll on the cruise as well.
08:20Some of these troops I talked to in Kiev
08:23and in the region of the capital
08:25told me that over the past couple of days
08:28or even weeks,
08:29they could only do about an hour
08:31and an hour and a half of sleep.
08:33We also talked to Pavlo Tsugunov,
08:36who is aircraft battery commander,
08:37and he described the pressure on his crews
08:40under why these new jet-powered drones
08:43are so difficult for some of the existing systems
08:46to intercept and what exactly the troops are doing
08:49to do that nevertheless.
08:55First of all, there is this constant pressure.
08:59The enemy is constantly putting both those
09:01defending the skies and civilians under pressure.
09:06In my view, this is a tactic
09:08aimed at intimidating the civilian population.
09:11Since the Russians are not currently
09:13making progress in direct combat on the front,
09:15they are trying to frighten the population
09:17into withdrawing its support from the military
09:20and ultimately to force the military
09:22to accept capitulation.
09:32Sashava Kulina reporting from Kiev.
09:35As ever, thank you very much.
09:37An important element in Russia's war machine
09:40is Belarus,
09:41a neighboring country with pariah status in Europe.
09:45Conversely, Alexander Lukashenko's regime
09:47benefits from Moscow's support.
09:50But unlike in Russia,
09:51there is a strong pro-democracy movement
09:54in Belarus that is preparing in exile
09:56for the end of the dictatorship in Minsk.
09:59The opposition leader is Svyatlana Tsikhanouskaya,
10:02who works tirelessly for her country's freedom,
10:05as she did yesterday
10:07at the European Parliament in Brussels.
10:09I had the opportunity to speak with her
10:11about her take on the likelihood
10:13of the war in Ukraine
10:14spilling over into the EU.
10:18Look, I don't know what the plans of Russia
10:21and Lukashenko's regime are.
10:23But we are seeing what's happening in Belarus,
10:27for example,
10:28how a regime is building new infrastructure
10:30that is not supposed to be there
10:33if a country is not preparing for escalation
10:36or provocation.
10:37So I think that Europe has to be aware
10:42of what might happen.
10:44You know, and experts say about Suvalki gap,
10:47about threats to Lithuania, Latvia, Poland.
10:51And we already see these hybrid attacks
10:53on these countries.
10:55We see drones flying over their territories.
10:58We see these balloons over Lithuania
11:00that interrupts airspace.
11:04We saw already attacks on trains
11:07near Polish borders.
11:09So we see how, like,
11:10Russia is trying to test
11:12how far it will go
11:14until there will be reaction.
11:16But I'm absolutely sure
11:18that if such, like,
11:20physical attacks will take place,
11:22they most certainly will use Belarusian territory.
11:27While Lukashenko is there,
11:28who is serving to Russia's interest.
11:30So that's why, you know,
11:32I encourage our European partners
11:35that please help Belarusians
11:36to get Belarus out of Russia's claws,
11:39to make Belarus reliable partner
11:41and not the source of constant threat,
11:43because these attacks, you know,
11:46on NATO alliance,
11:47it might happen at any moment.
11:49How would you describe
11:51Lukashenko's role
11:53in the current conflict?
11:56Lukashenko is the puppet
11:57of Putin's regime.
12:00He's ready to sell
12:02independency,
12:04sovereignty of Belarus,
12:05just in exchange
12:06of political and economic support.
12:08He wants personally survive
12:10as politician.
12:11And in 2020,
12:12Putin saved him,
12:14saved Lukashenko,
12:15and now Lukashenko is paying his debts.
12:17He's on the leash,
12:18and the issue is how long is the leash.
12:20Putin can shorten it
12:22or make it longer,
12:23but it's illusion
12:25that we can
12:28drag Lukashenko from Putin.
12:30They have this symbiotic relationship,
12:32they need each other,
12:33they use each other,
12:35and that's why
12:35don't think that
12:38Lukashenko can be
12:40re-educated
12:41or that he can turn
12:43to his eyes
12:45to Europe.
12:46Would you say
12:47that the moment
12:49Putin's reign
12:50comes to an end,
12:52that would also be
12:54the end of Lukashenko's
12:56regime in Minsk?
12:57Look,
12:58I rather often hear
12:59from politicians
13:00that,
13:01oh,
13:01until something changes
13:02will come to Russia,
13:04nothing will change in Belarus.
13:05But I'm absolutely confident
13:07that changes in Russia
13:08can start
13:09from the changes
13:10in Belarus,
13:11because
13:12in Belarus society
13:13is more consolidated.
13:16You know,
13:16we know that we
13:17voted against Lukashenko
13:19in 2020,
13:20and these anti-regime moods,
13:22they're still there,
13:23despite repressions,
13:24despite political prisoners,
13:27and,
13:27you know,
13:29it's much easier,
13:30you know,
13:30to help Belarusians
13:31to win our country back,
13:33than to work with Russia
13:35and persuade all the Russians
13:37that they have to stop
13:38their imperial ambitions.
13:41You know,
13:41the contexts are different
13:42in Belarus and Russia.
13:43Recently,
13:44NATO shot down a drone
13:45over Lithuania.
13:48Is that a sufficiently
13:50strong message
13:51to Moscow?
13:53And how should NATO react
13:55if this happens again?
13:57You know,
13:57when this drone fell down,
13:59there was almost no reaction
14:00from NATO alliance.
14:02like,
14:02drone didn't kill anybody,
14:04like,
14:04maybe it's accidental.
14:06The next drone
14:07might harm somebody.
14:09So,
14:10you know,
14:10Russia also watches
14:11what will be the reaction
14:12from the Western countries.
14:14There is no reaction,
14:15okay,
14:16they can go further and further,
14:18as I said,
14:18test the borders.
14:20You know,
14:20and,
14:21of course,
14:23among population,
14:24you know,
14:24these narratives
14:26intensifying
14:26that the war can start,
14:28there might be attacks
14:29on Lithuania.
14:30and Lithuanian people,
14:32for example,
14:32they are not sure
14:33that the NATO alliance,
14:34you know,
14:34other countries
14:35will come to rescue them.
14:36We have to take example
14:38from Ukraine,
14:40you know,
14:40because before
14:41it was only attacked
14:42by Russia,
14:43now it is attacking back.
14:45I'm not, like,
14:45encouraging Europe
14:46to attack back immediately,
14:48but just to be prepared
14:49for possible counterattack,
14:51you know,
14:52if this happens,
14:54Europe has to be ready
14:55for this.
14:55I have one more,
14:57and your answer
14:58can be short.
15:00If you had one message
15:01to European leaders
15:03about the Russian-Belorussian
15:07drone threat,
15:08what would it be?
15:14Don't panic,
15:15but be prepared.
15:19That was Belarusian
15:21opposition leader
15:22Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya.
15:24Let's return to the
15:25Euronews Defense Summit
15:26happening this morning
15:27here in Brussels.
15:28The transatlantic partnership
15:30is under pressure
15:31like never before
15:32as a result of the
15:33second Trump administration's
15:35transactional
15:36America First policies,
15:38which,
15:38among other things,
15:39includes a major shift
15:40away from the US role
15:42in European security.
15:43All of this
15:44while the continent
15:45grapples with the
15:46ongoing Russian invasion
15:48of Ukraine,
15:49soon to be marking
15:49five years.
15:51At the summit today,
15:52we'll speak exclusively
15:53to US Ambassador to NATO
15:55Matthew Whitaker.
15:56I'm joined now
15:57from there
15:58by our NATO correspondent
16:00Shona Murray.
16:01Good morning, Shona.
16:02Good to see you.
16:03What do you hope
16:04to hear from
16:05Ambassador Whitaker
16:06about the role
16:07of the US
16:08in European security?
16:11Well, good morning, Stefan.
16:12Indeed, we knew
16:13that the United States
16:14has moved significantly
16:15from its traditional role
16:17as guarantor
16:18of European security
16:19to a situation
16:20where its withdrawing
16:21capabilities,
16:22conventional capabilities,
16:23and also in the next
16:24few months,
16:25will announce
16:25a significant reduction
16:26in troops
16:27all across NATO territory.
16:29Now, this has been
16:30a priority
16:30for the Trump administration.
16:31It was well flagged,
16:32but the problem for Europe
16:34is that it's happening
16:35well.
16:35There's Russian aggression
16:36in Ukraine
16:36and escalating Russian aggression
16:39all across NATO territory
16:40with these increased
16:41hybrid attacks.
16:42So we'll be asking
16:43the ambassador
16:44a bit about this
16:45and whether he believes
16:46this is not just
16:47about intimidating countries
16:48to stop supporting Ukraine,
16:50but also about testing
16:51NATO unity,
16:52which is a lot of secret
16:53services across Europe
16:54are saying it is.
16:55So the question is,
16:56will the United States
16:57be there for NATO
16:58if this were to happen?
17:00Other questions
17:01are very important
17:01around the scarcity
17:02of important patriotic
17:04interceptors
17:05that are very,
17:06patriot systems
17:07that are very important
17:08for Ukraine
17:09in intercepting ballistic missiles.
17:10and overall
17:11a conversation
17:12about NATO relations
17:13with Donald Trump
17:14and his NATO allies
17:16given the conflict
17:17and the confrontation
17:18over the war in Iran.
17:20So all of that
17:20coming up this morning.
17:21Stefan?
17:23Also, Shona,
17:24yesterday
17:24the Estonian government
17:26formally attributed
17:27responsibility
17:27to Russia
17:29for an attack
17:30on a defense company,
17:31the second of its kind.
17:33Undoubtedly,
17:34this will feature
17:35as part of today's summit.
17:37Tell us what happened.
17:40Well, this situation
17:42overall
17:43will very much
17:43dominate today
17:44because we are seeing
17:45Russia being less
17:46risk-averse
17:47when it comes to
17:48these attacks
17:48all across
17:49the Asia-territory
17:50and the fact
17:51that they're much
17:52more violent
17:52and kinetic.
17:53And the one in Estonia
17:54was very similar
17:55to that in Leipzig
17:56Airport in Germany
17:57in August
17:57where this was
17:58a sabotage
17:59and arson attack
18:00on a robotics
18:01defense company
18:02in Tallinn
18:03in mid-August.
18:04The Estonians
18:05came out yesterday
18:06and said according
18:06to their secret services
18:08that they can confirm
18:09with certainty,
18:10conclude with certainty
18:11that the arson attack
18:12was an act
18:13of sabotage
18:14ordered by the special services
18:15of the Russian Federation.
18:17The second time
18:18a NATO country
18:19has said
18:20that this is definitely Russia
18:21which means that
18:22countries themselves
18:23are becoming
18:24much more confrontational
18:25with the Kremlin.
18:26Now, what does this mean?
18:27It means that
18:28it's an escalation
18:30in tensions
18:30but that doesn't mean
18:31that they want to go
18:32to war per se
18:33but certainly relations
18:34are getting
18:35that much more tense.
18:37Stefan?
18:38All right,
18:38Sean Amari there for us.
18:40Thank you very much
18:40for that update.
18:42And that does it
18:43for us today.
18:44Make sure you follow
18:45our Defense Summit
18:46on TV and online.
18:47Thank you for watching.
18:48I'm Stefan Grobe
18:49and I see you tomorrow.
18:51We'll see you tomorrow.
18:54We'll be right back.
18:56Bye-bye.
19:05We'll be right back.
