A summit of EU leaders in Brussels has approved plans that could provide as much as €800 billion to beef up the the bloc’s defense, APA reports quoting TVP World.
Amid Russia’s war in Ukraine, the European Commission’s president, Ursula von der Leyen, described the geopolitical situation as the “most momentous and dangerous” of times.
“Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities,” von der Leyen said in a statement.
“ReArm Europe could mobilize close to €800 billion for a safe and resilient Europe. We will continue working closely with our partners in NATO. This is a moment for Europe. And we are ready to step up.”
