**Jędrzej Bielecki: Rzeczpospolita: "Defence: Europe can do without the USA"**
"The Europeans want to agree on a plan to repel Russia's attack within a twelve days, even without American aid. British Prime Minister Starmer is scheduled to meet Trump on Thursday. The calendar is tense. On Wednesday, Macro passed through video coverage from his Monday gathering with Trump European leaders. On Thursday, Trump will have the British Prime Minister. On Sunday, the heads of the most crucial free European countries will meet in London, and on 6 March everyone will be attending the Brussels Summit. His proposals are to be published respective days later by the European Commission's White Paper on defence, or the action plan the Community intends to take. This haste explains the words of future German Chancellor Merza -_Trump does not care about Europe. So step by step, we request to be independent of the United States. It is not even known whether NATO will last until the next summit in June. Something akin has not yet been heard from the head of the postwar German government. Not all countries have the same moods. Our country is full active in the mobilisation of European defence. On Monday, Prime Minister Tusk revealed the London Summit initiative after gathering with the president of the European Council, Costa. How ambitious are European plans? The outgoing head of German diplomacy compared this to a fund that was able to mobilise for reconstruction after the pandemic. It is about the equivalent of the Pentagon's yearly budget.”
