Ursula von der Leyen is visiting several countries, including Poland, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Bulgaria, and Romania, all of which border Russia or Belarus. This marks her largest diplomatic effort on EU security and defense since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She and Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk inspected a newly completed electric fence at the Polish-Belarusian border. Tusk highlighted the border’s importance, comparing it to a historical milestone for liberation from Soviet control 45 years ago. He emphasized solidarity akin to the past Western support during the Solidarity movement. Tusk noted von der Leyen’s visit aimed to rally European support for protecting and investing in this border. Von der Leyen announced plans to propose a roadmap for enhancing the EU’s defense investment, to be discussed in October. Her itinerary also includes meetings with Bulgarian Prime Minister Rossen Jeliazkov, Romanian President Nicușor Dan, and Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda.
