00:19We have to keep this sense of urgency because we know that Putin has not changed and will not change.
00:25He is a predator. He can only be kept in check through strong deterrence.

00:42and specifically in the frontline state.
00:45The European Commission chief added that as the largest defense spender in Europe,
00:50Poland will be the biggest beneficiary from the safe loan program.
