Sounds like the far right in Europe is now starting to distance themselves from Trump over Ukraine.

EU Right Wing Abandons Trump Now

Trump has gone too far with closing intelligence for Ukrainians. Le Pen finds it inhumane that Trump does not grant a period for adaptation. Her deputy Bardella did not go to CPAC because of Nazi

A good Q&A session. It seems there will be no WW3, according to Michael Clarke, but further outbreaks of 'military violence' in Europe are inevitable.

'Where will we dig our toes in' against further Russian aggression? is the big question...

I found the bolded part most interesting. Ukraine would be the place that has all sorts of knowledge and knowhow about cheap automatous drones, if you were in the market of starting up domestic production. Though having a land-based anti-ship missile system (like the R-360 Neptune) is also something I can see there being great interest in and one that doesn't rely on the US.

I spoke with Canada’s Prime Minister @MarkJCarney. It was a good and substantive conversation covering many important topics.

I congratulated him on his assumption of office and thanked Canada for its assistance, particularly for the defense packages and support of our energy sector.

The Prime Minister made the right points about how we need to step up pressure on Moscow. The shadow fleet, the banking sector. We must impose all-out sanctions on everything that provides Russia with funding for its war. Only then can we force Putin to a just and lasting peace.

We also discussed the humanitarian aspect of security guarantees for Ukraine. This includes rebuilding our country and supporting the economy after the war ends. We will work on this.

We touched upon the Ukrainian agenda during Canada’s G7 presidency. We will continue interacting in various formats and at different levels to make our cooperation even more meaningful and practical.

Additionally, we discussed the development of bilateral relations between our countries. Canada is interested in military-industrial and defense cooperation. Throughout this war, we have gained significant experience in the production of EW systems, long-range missiles, and drones. Ukraine is ready for joint production.

Thank you for the support, and I look forward to productive cooperation.
