EU Commission warns: Russia could continue to attack by 2030!

The European Union faces a decisive turn in its defense policy. The European Commission has presented a new strategy paper that prepares the Member States for the serious possibility of a large -scale war with Russia. These alarming knowledge come from a white book on European defense, which was launched by Ursula von der Leyen. "History will not forgive us inactivity," warns the Commission, emphasizing that Russia may be able to extend its territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine by 2030. This new urgency is reinforced by the increasingly uncertain international, especially after the United States has signaled under Donald Trump to see less as a guarantee for peace in Europe, such as Tagenschau point out.

An indispensable part of the new defense strategy is the focus on community projects. The aim is to buy fewer gun systems in large numbers in order to reduce both the costs and to act more efficiently. The EU countries must cooperate and procure at least 40 percent of their military goods together to send clearer signals to the armaments industry. The Commission expects such measures not only to accelerate the upgrade, but also strengthen the military independence of Europe. "We cannot afford to be pushed back and forth from history, we have to act immediately," says von der Leyen and calls for a common approach of the Member States in the coming years.
