00:14Bom dia, é sexto dia 30 de setembro, você está assistindo Euronews, e isso é Euronews Today.
00:22Coming up, today Euronews is hosting its biggest news event ever.
00:27The Defence and Space Summit 2026 in Brussels is bringing together policy makers, industry executives, security experts and innovators to
00:37discuss the future of European defence.
00:39From the NATO Secretary General to EU Commissioners, from Defence Ministers to Ambassadors to CEOs, the day-long conference will
00:48bring exclusive insights on one of the defining topics of our time.
00:52We'll have the latest for you.
00:54Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree to boost the army by more than 15,000 troops in the
01:01fourth such order this year.
01:03Putin previously signed decrees boosting the army's size in March, June and July.
01:08The combined increase since March amounts to almost 48,000 soldiers.
01:13Russia's President did not state the reason for the decision, but it has been taken against the backdrop of rising
01:20losses in Moscow's full-scale war in Ukraine.
01:24And a British investigation into a suspected bomb plot at an airbase used by the United States was mired in
01:31confusion yesterday,
01:32after 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, Washington questioned the decision to release on bail five men
01:53arrested near the Royal Air Force Fairfoot base in southwest England.
01:58Welcome to the programme, I'm Stefan Grobber.
02:01With Europe facing escalating hybrid threats and Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, governments across the continent are racing to rebuild
02:10their armies and strengthen their defences.
02:13Today, Euronews brings together the people shaping the defence of tomorrow,
02:18from procurement and intelligence to crisis response and military readiness, at our Defence and Space Summit here in Brussels.
02:26NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is among the senior leaders joining us, alongside defence ministers, military commanders and industry chiefs.
02:35Our Europe editor Maria Taddeo is joining us now and she'll be sitting down with Rutte later today.
02:42Good morning, Maria.
02:44So, European defence, 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 defence.
02:55We're seeing certainly in this continent an active war, the 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, but that has also complicated the picture, as you alluded
03:17to,
03:17with the perception of escalating, it's not just a perception, of course, but escalating hybrid warfare and hybrid attacks from
03:24Russia on the eastern flank.
03:26And certainly, there has been a sense over the past three weeks that 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.
03:40The other big element to this conference really is about the defence industry, the contracts and the money, because there
03:46is money to be spent.
03:48You've seen it in some of the countries, including like yours, major 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 when it comes to the procurement?
04:02And there'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, and that is President Trump pushing to a different strategy when
04:17it comes to NATO.
04:18That NATO 3.0, which sends a clear picture going forward.
04:21The Europeans need to take care of their security, and they will have to provide for their defence.
04:27Maria, you will be speaking with Mark Rutte. What do we expect?
04:34Mark Rutte, the head of NATO, the head of NATO at a difficult time, because there is, of course, an
04:40act of war in Europe.
04:41But there is a second one in the Middle East, that is a war in Iran, having major repercussions in
04:46the energy market.
04:47Mark 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 from President Trump to see more money spent in
05:00the alliance come to fruition.
05:02At the same time, he needs, and that is a big challenge to his job, to keep the U.S.
05:08aligned and to keep the U.S. as an active participant in the security alliance that is NATO.
05:13Because, Stefan, let's be honest, if there is a ceasefire, both in Iran and in Ukraine, it is President Trump
05:20sitting around the table who is going to have, ultimately, a final say.
05:24So this is a man who is leading an alliance at a fragile moment, but also an alliance where you
05:29see money really come to fruition.
05:31You see now countries stepping up, and you see those new defence 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, as Russia increasingly deploys jet-powered drones in
05:52its attacks.
05:53Rio News gained exclusive access to an air defence position protecting the Kiev region, and spoke exclusively to the head
06:00of Ukraine's presidential office, Kirill Budanov, about the technology being developed to counter the new threat.
06:07Our correspondent, Sasha Vakulina, joins us now from Kiev.
06:11Good morning, Sasha.
06:13So, what is the latest?
06:15What can you tell us?
06:16Thank you very much.
06:46I spoke exclusively to Kirill Budanov, the head of the office of the president of Ukraine, who told me the
06:51technology is already being implemented.
06:53Moreover, it is being tested at the battlefield, and he said that the challenge now is to be able to
06:58scale up the production of these interceptors.
07:01But he is confident that it will be possible to do before the cold comes here, before the winter in
07:08Ukraine.
07:09And he also told Uranus confirmed that the countries who have already signed the drone deals with Ukraine, who are
07:15negotiating those drone deals with Kyiv, will have access to these new interceptors capable of stopping Russia's jet-powered drones.
07:26This isn't about any specific product.
07:29In principle, it's about cooperation between countries on similar products, so to speak.
07:34So, Ukraine's latest technologies, which are currently being scaled up, including interceptors for jet-powered drones, could also become part
07:41of agreements with the European countries?
07:43Anyone who has made such agreements with us has the right to continue negotiations on specific products.
07:49Euronews was also given exclusive access to some of the air defense troops working in the Kyiv region to see
07:57what the changing threat means for them, for those people who are indeed in charge of protecting the skies.
08:03Now, they told us that when a jet-powered drone is incoming, there are about 10 seconds before it can
08:08reach Kyiv.
08:09And this is more or less the time that they also have to be able and to prepare to shoot
08:13it down between 10 to 15 seconds.
08:16And, of course, this intensity is taking its toll on the cruise as well.
08:20Some of these troops I talked to in Kyiv and in the region of the capital told me that over
08:26the past couple of days or even weeks, they could only do about an hour and an hour and a
08:31half of sleep.
08:32We also talked to Pavlo Tsugunov, who is aircraft battery commander, and he described the pressure on his cruise under
08:41why these new jet-powered drones are so difficult for some of the existing systems to intercept and what exactly
08:47the troops are doing to do that nevertheless.
08:55First of all, there is this constant pressure. The enemy is constantly putting both those defending the skies and civilians
09:02under pressure.
09:06In my view, this is a tactic aimed at intimidating the civilian population.
09:11Since the Russians are not currently making progress in direct combat on the front, they are trying to frighten the
09:17population into withdrawing its support from the military and, ultimately, to force the military to accept capitulation.
09:33Sashavakulina reporting from Kyiv. As ever, thank you very much.
09:37An important element in Russia's war machine is Belarus, a neighboring country with pariah status in Europe.
09:44Conversely, Alexander Lukashenko's regime benefits from Moscow's support.
09:50But unlike in Russia, there is a strong pro-democracy movement in Belarus that is preparing in exile for the
09:57end of the dictatorship in Minsk.
09:59The opposition leader is Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, who works tirelessly for her country's freedom, as she did yesterday at the European
10:07Parliament in Brussels.
10:08I had the opportunity to speak with her about her take on the likelihood of the war in Ukraine spilling
10:15over into the EU.
10:17Look, I don't know what the plans of Russia and Lukashenko's regime are, but we're seeing what's happening in Belarus,
10:27for example,
10:28how the regime is building new infrastructure that is not supposed to be there if a country is not preparing
10:35for escalation or provocation.
10:37So, I think that Europe has to be aware of what might happen, you know, and experts say about Suvalki
10:47gap,
10:47about threats to Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, and we already see these hybrid attacks on these countries.
10:55We see drones flying over their territories.
10:58We see these balloons over Lithuania that interrupts airspace, we saw already attacks on trains near Polish borders.
11:09So, we see how, like, Russia is trying to test how far it will go until there will be reaction.
11:16But I'm absolutely sure that if such, like, physical attacks will take place, they most certainly will use Belarusian territory,
11:26while Lukashenko is there, who is serving to Russia's interests.
11:29So, that's why, you know, I encourage our European partners that please help Belarusians to get Belarus out of Russia's
11:38claws,
11:39to make Belarus a reliable partner and not the source of constant threat, because these attacks, you know, on NATO
11:46alliance,
11:47it might happen at any moment.
11:49How would you describe Lukashenko's role in the current conflict?
11:56Lukashenko is the puppet of Putin's regime.
12:00He's ready to sell independence, serenity of Belarus, just in exchange of political and economic support.
12:08He wants personally survive as politician.
12:11And in 2020 Putin saved him, saved Lukashenko, and now Lukashenko is paying his debts.
12:17He's on the leash, and the issue is how long is the leash.
12:20Putin can shorten it or make it longer,
12:23but it's illusion that we can, like, drag Lukashenko from Putin.
12:30They have this symbiotic relationship, they need each other, they use each other,
12:34and that's why I don't think that Lukashenko can be re-educated
12:41or that he can turn to, his eyes to Europe.
12:46Would you say that the moment Putin's reign comes to an end,
12:52that would also be the end of Lukashenko's regime in Minsk?
12:57Look, I rather often hear from politicians that,
13:01oh, until something changes will come to Russia, nothing will change in Belarus.
13:05But I'm absolutely confident that changes in Russia can start from the changes in Belarus.
13:11Because in Belarus society is more consolidated.
13:15You know, we know that we voted against Lukashenko in 2020,
13:20and these anti-regime moods, they're still there,
13:23despite repressions, despite political prisoners.
13:26And, you know, it's much easier, you know, to help Belarusians to win our country back
13:33than to work with Russia and persuade all the Russians
13:37that they have to stop their imperial ambitions.
13:40You know, the contexts are different in Belarus and Russia.
13:43Recently, NATO shot down a drone over Lithuania.
13:48Is that a sufficiently strong message to Moscow?
13:53And how should NATO react if this happens again?
13:56You know, when this drone fall down,
13:58there was almost no reaction from NATO alliance.
14:02Like, drone didn't kill anybody, like, maybe it's accidental.
14:06The next drone might harm somebody.
14:09So, you know, Russia also watches what will be the reaction from the Western countries.
14:14There is no reaction, okay, they can go further and further,
14:18as I said, test the borders.
14:20You know, and, of course, among population, you know,
14:24these narratives intensifying that the war can start,
14:28there might be attacks on Lithuania.
14:31In Lithuania, people, for example, they're not sure that NATO alliance,
14:34you know, other countries will come to rescue them.
14:36We have to take example from Ukraine, you know,
14:40because before it was only attacked by Russia,
14:43Russia, now it is attacking back.
14:45I'm not, like, encouraging Europe to attack back immediately,
14:48but just to be prepared for possible counterattack,
14:51you know, if this happens, Europe has to be ready for this.
14:56I have one more, and your answer can be short.
14:59If you had one message to European leaders about the Russian-Belorussian drone threat,
15:08what would it be?
15:13Don't panic, but be prepared.
15:19That was Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tsikhanouskaya.
15:24Let's return to the Euronews Defense Summit happening this morning here in Brussels.
15:28The transatlantic partnership is under pressure like never before
15:32as a result of the second Trump administration's transactional America First policies,
15:38which, among other things, includes a major shift away from the U.S. role in European security.
15:43All of this while the continent grapples with the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine,
15:49soon to be marking five years.
15:51At the summit today, we'll speak exclusively to U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whittaker.
15:56I'm joined now from there by our NATO correspondent Shona Murray.
16:01Good morning, Shona. Good to see you.
16:03What do you hope to hear from Ambassador Whittaker about the role of the U.S. in European security?
16:11Well, good morning, Stefan.
16:13Indeed, we knew that the United States has moved significantly
16:15from its traditional role as guarantor of European security
16:19to a situation where it's withdrawing capabilities, conventional capabilities,
16:23and also in the next few months will announce a significant reduction in troops
16:27all across NATO territory.
16:29Now, this has been a priority for the Trump administration.
16:31It was well flagged, but the problem for Europe is that it's happening.
16:35Well, there's Russian aggression in Ukraine and escalating Russian aggression
16:38all across NATO territory with these increased hybrid attacks.
16:42So we'll be asking the ambassador a bit about this
16:45and whether he believes this is not just about intimidating countries
16:48to stop supporting Ukraine, but also about testing NATO unity,
16:52which is a lot of secret services across Europe are saying it is.
16:55So the question is, will the United States be there for NATO if this were to happen?
16:59Other questions are very important around the scarcity of important patriotic interceptors
17:05that are very, patriot systems that are very important for Ukraine
17:08in intercepting ballistic missiles.
17:10And overall, a conversation about NATO relations with Donald Trump
17:14and his NATO allies, given the conflict and the confrontation
17:18over the war in Iran.
17:20So all of that coming up this morning.
17:21Stefan?
17:22Also, Shona, yesterday, the Estonian government formally attributed responsibility
17:27to Russia for an attack on a defence company, the second of its kind.
17:33Undoubtedly, this will feature as part of today's summit.
17:37Tell us what happened.
17:40Well, this situation overall will very much dominate today
17:44because we are seeing Russia being less risk-averse when it comes to these attacks
17:48all across NATO territory and the fact that they're much more violent and kinetic.
17:53And the one in Estonia was very similar to that in Leipzig Airport in Germany in August
17:57where this was a sabotage, an arson attack on a robotics defence company in Tallinn in mid-August.
18:04The Estonians came out yesterday and said, according to their secret services,
18:08that they can confirm with certainty, conclude with certainty,
18:11that the arson attack was an act of sabotage ordered by the special services
18:15of the Russian Federation.
18:17The second time a NATO country has said that this is definitely Russia,
18:21which means that countries themselves are becoming much more confrontational
18:25with the Kremlin.
18:26Now, what does this mean?
18:27It means that it's an escalation in tensions,
18:30but that doesn't mean that they want to go to war per se,
18:33but certainly relations are getting that much more tense.
18:37Stefan?
18:38All right, Shona Murray there for us.
18:40Thank you very much for that update.
18:42And that does it for us today.
18:43Make sure you follow our Defence Summit on TV and online.
18:47Thank you for watching.
18:48I'm Stefan Grobe and I see you tomorrow.
19:09We'll see you tomorrow.
