EU and NATO: Future strategies against hybrid threats in focus!

In today's political climate of Europe, the pressure on Russia is massively increased. At a meeting at the head of the EU and Great Britain, in which Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas and the British Foreign Minister David Lammy were present, crucial measures were sketched to effectively combat hybrid threats, including cyber attacks and Russian disinformation. As the Wiener Zeitung reported, the leaders also agreed to increase the economic means of pressure on Russia and to check the military cooperation to support NATO

These conversations are not only of direct importance for security in Europe, but also show a common strategy to combat crises and threats that are characterized by aggressive tactics by Russian pages. "We have to ensure that all political measures that we take also support our economic and security policy goals," a spokesman is quoted. According to linguee it is particularly important to bundle national and regional interests in order to ensure consistent procedures.

improve the willingness to defend

As part of the talks, the need to increase defense spending in Europe was also emphasized. This is done by “innovative initiatives”, which are intended to serve to improve military readiness and to coordinate the European countries more closely. The participants agree that a sustainable solution to the current challenges can only be found through increased cooperation and the expansion of defense capacities. The need to prepare for acute threats is rarely formulated as well as now.

The continuing tensions and the aggressive approach of Russia require energetic reactions of the European community. The strategic approach developed here is crucial to prevent both future conflicts and to manage existing challenges. Strengthening this cooperation could not only have an impact on the geopolitical landscape, but also create the basis for a more stable and safe Europe.
