   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The report expands on threats, adding Russian aggression, hybrid threats, and migration as security risks, and stresses SDPs' role in strategic autonomy. It strengthens language on NATO partnership, Ukraine support, and regional partnerships, including Indo-Pacific and Black Sea. It adds parliamentary diplomacy measures, including reports to Parliament and cooperation with Ukraine's Rada. The other changes are formal or wording: updated citations, rephrased explanatory statements, and a declaration of input.
