A new call for projects from the European Defense Fund. Detailed 2022 priorities
(Exclusive) What will be the themes, program lines, priorities that will feature in the next call for projects from the European Defense Fund. B2 was able to read it in its provisional version. Before publication. Details.
(Decryption) The reversal revealed by the Russian general staff on Friday (March 25) and endorsed by its Minister of Defense on Wednesday (March 30) deserves to be read with attention. Between the lines, he reveals Moscow's desire to put an end to the “special” operation, to arrive in a position of strength at the negotiating table, but not to withdraw completely.
The Yanukovyches, father and son, win in court, for honor. Maidan's page turns
(Confidential) Former Ukrainian President (before 2014) Viktor Yanukovych and his son Oleksandr won an EU court order on Wednesday (March 30) to overturn the European Union's asset freeze order. This judgment concerns only the period 2020-2021. But it has a symbolic value. It puts an end to post-Maidan sanctions.

(Decryption) The French presidency of the European Union has tried several times to interfere in the dialogue between Russians and Ukrainians to impose de-escalation, then peace. Commendable initiative which has hit a wall for the time being. A real rhetoric of failure.
(Exclusive) The European Commission seems dubious about Airbus' decision to equip the future European drone with an American-inspired engine. Without issuing an official opinion, a senior European official explained it informally to B2. His opinion, substantiated, constitutes a point of order.
And always the follow-up of European news
In the event of a cyberattack, can Article 5 and a military response be triggered?
(News) Today, this question is no longer theoretical. Even if no State has ever invoked Article 5 in the event of a cyber-attack in the midst of tension with Russia, the stakes are real. The text explanation given across the Atlantic is therefore worth the detour.
(News) The Ministers of the Interior decided on Monday (28 March) during an extraordinary meeting devoted to the Ukrainian crisis not to resort to too restrictive instruments to show their solidarity. No relocation by quotas. But the simple establishment of a recording platform.
