Antnio Costa, President of the European Council, has stated that Europe must have all the means to defend itself against military aggression.
Source Costa in a speech at the European Policy Centre session in Brussels Details Costa stressed that peace without defence is an illusion.
If Russia considers that Ukraines borders are just a line on a map, why should it respect any other countrys borders he said.
The European Council president emphasised the need to strengthen NATOs European component.
Europe must become more sovereign, more responsible for its own defence and more able to deal autonomously with immediate and future challenges.
Europe is a peace project, but peace without defence is an illusion.
Europes security starts in Ukraine, he added.
Europe is significantly increasing its defence spending due to concerns that the United States, which has guaranteed Europes security since the end of World War II, may no longer be committed to this role, as it shifts its focus to the IndoPacific region.
Background A poll revealed that more than half of Europeans from the eight largest EU countries and Denmark view US President Donald Trump as an enemy of Europe.
