Europe should take great responsibility for its own defense today. It requires Europeans of courage to achieve a “progress” in their own defensive capabilities, the EC president is mentioned.
Due to the Russian invasion against Ukraine, Europe is no longer seen in the world. He removed the illusions of the same possibility of integration in Russia and the availability of the ongoing protection of the United States. European Commission President Ursula Von der Lyain said at a plenary European Parliament plenary meeting in Strasbourg on Tuesday, March 11.
“The world in the European Union cannot be seen as a given. We stand before the European security crisis. But we know this is the crisis where Europe has always been built. So this is the moment (achieved) of the world by strength. It is a moment for joint defense effort,” he said.
According to Von der Lyain, in the previous European Council, the level of consensus around defense issues with leaders of the countries was “not yet occurred”, and simply “unimaginable” a few weeks ago. They realize that they must think and act differently to mobilize economic resources to strengthen their own security. And these efforts will need decisions and courage in the coming weeks and months, because “the European security order is shocked.”
“Many of our illusions have been removed. After the Cold War, there is a belief that Russia can be integrated into European economic and architecture. Others hope that we will surely expect American protection. Therefore, we have reduced our defense. We have reduced more than half of our defense costs from the usual average level above 3.5%. Let’s just have the lack of security.
He emphasized that Europe should take great responsibility for its own defense “today.” It requires Europeans of courage to achieve a “progress” in their own defensive capabilities due to the safety situation.
“We need it, first of all, as a result of the situation in Ukraine.
Remember, on March 6, all 27 EU member states agreed with the European RearMament Plan in 800 billion euros, introduced by Ursula Von der Lyain.
It is also known that the European Union will provide an additional 15 billion euros to Ukraine.
