Europe must rapidly build defence independence, EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius says

Europe must prioritise its military autonomy without delay. This means fostering integrated defense capabilities across the continent rather than relying solely on individual nations. To avoid production lags, the European defense sector needs to ramp up its output significantly. Commissioner Andrius Kubilius emphasised that enhancing capabilities outweighs financial gains at this critical juncture, reinforcing Europe’s role within NATO.
