In recent months, the political bloc has already increased its defense capabilities.
The European Union is developing its own security strategy. This statement was made by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, according to Euractiv .
The political bloc is seeking to enhance its defense capabilities. During a closed session of the European Parliament, von der Leyen declared that the EU would become a “military power.”
“We know we need to be strong, and strength is exactly that,” she explained.
The politician noted that the EU is not currently a military power. However, the bloc is taking steps in that direction and is expected to present a new EU security strategy as early as 2026.
“This has never been done before, but now is the time,” the EC President added.
In recent months, the bloc has already increased its defense capabilities. Specifically, this includes the ReArm program, worth up to €800 billion, and the SAFE joint procurement program, which 19 EU countries have joined.

If talking was power the EU would be the stongest army in the world. While you’re at it, do not include any pro russian rash in your army.
No thanks. Not interested. 50% is pro-ruSSian trash and NATO, even without the US, but with Norway, Canada and the UK way more efficient.
