"The European Union's foreign policy and security chief, Kaja Kallas, has said she is working on a "new European security strategy" with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The strategy will address "all dimensions of European security" to better deal with the threat of Russia and a more hostile geopolitical era."
"Defense is a key priority. "This starts in Ukraine, but we know Russia's endgame is not the Donbas," she said, pointing to Russia's alleged hybrid warfare and sabotage of critical European infrastructure."
"'Russia's maximalist demands cannot be met with a minimalist response,' Kallas said."
The European Union is crafting a new European security strategy jointly with the European Commission to confront a more hostile geopolitical era and the threat posed by Russia. Defense is emphasized, beginning with robust support for Ukraine while acknowledging that Russian objectives extend beyond the Donbas. The strategy targets hybrid warfare, sabotage of critical European infrastructure, and the need for responses that match Russia's maximalist goals. The approach envisions strengthened deterrence, closer coordination among EU member states and with NATO, and measures to protect critical systems and maintain European strategic autonomy.
