Speaking on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC), Støre admitted that there was a "stalemate on the battleground" in Ukraine but insisted on the importance of supporting Kyiv. The recent fall of Avdiivka to Russian forces "should be a wake-up call to make the Ukrainians fit and able to defend themselves," he said.
Almost exactly two years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Norway's intelligence service recently said it believes Moscow is gaining the advantage in the war. In a blow to Kyiv, Russia claimed this weekend that it had taken control of the city of Avdiivka after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops.
"I don't think that any of the member states of the European Union could work sufficiently well alone, without their colleagues, when the Putins and the Trumps of the world are surrounding Europe," Ribera says. "We need more Europe against Trump."
Billström appears optimistic that Turkey and Hungary will ratify Sweden’s NATO accession at more or less the same time. "I asked my counterpart, the foreign minister of Hungary, just the other week at the NATO foreign ministers' meeting, if Hungary still holds to its promise that they won't be the last to ratify us - meaning that once Ankara starts to ratify, Hungary will follow swiftly. And his answer was 'yes, we still will maintain our promise'. The Hungarian parliament has already done all that is necessary. They only have a final vote left. They have done all the committee work, so they can move quite rapidly, once there is 'white' smoke from Ankara," Billström says.

The NATO summit this week was almost a one-man show starring someone whose country is not yet a member: Volodymyr Zelensky. He, of course, was hoping to win over the Alliance to give him a time frame for Ukraine's membership. He did not get that. But Zelensky did secure more weapons and a lot of goodwill from the de factor leader of NATO.

Stoltenberg also stressed that despite claims to the contrary, Ukraine is making progress on the battlefield. He said Western countries were stepping up their weapons deliveries, pointing to the delivery of long-range missiles by the UK, which "is making a difference". He noted that that the training of Ukrainian pilots on F16 fighter jets had begun. While he refused to predict a Ukrainian victory in the coming months, he stated that "Ukraine has the equipment, the training, the ammunition" needed and that NATO is committed to supplying them.
