The EU prioritizes enhancing defense capabilities and supporting Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict with Russia. Since February 2022, the EU has provided over 49.3 billion euros in military aid, with member states, excluding Hungary, agreeing to continue arms supplies. Concerns about US military involvement have led to the 'ReArm Europe' plan, aiming to mobilize 800 billion euros for defense by 2030. Experts stress the importance of supporting Ukraine for European security, warning against yielding to Russian demands. The EU's role in peace talks remains uncertain, but continued support for Ukraine is deemed essential.
