European leaders are poised to agree on a substantial increase in defense spending during emergency talks in Brussels, amidst rising concerns for Ukraine following US aid cuts. President Zelenskyy expressed gratitude for European support, while Ursula von der Leyen unveiled an 800 billion euro plan to strengthen European defense. The summit aims to unify efforts and enhance Europe's military autonomy in response to global threats. However, Hungary's potential veto presents challenges to a cohesive EU position on Ukraine. Overall, the discussions underscore Europe's commitment to increased defense and support for Ukraine.
Europe faces a clear and present danger, and therefore Europe must become more sovereign, more responsible for its own defence and better equipped to act.
This is a watershed moment for Europe; we are very thankful that we are not alone as we support Ukraine in this challenging time.
