The European Commission has unveiled a two-part plan to enhance Ukraine's security by significantly increasing military aid and strengthening its domestic defense industry. This strategy, spearheaded by the EU's top diplomat, aims to transform Ukraine into a formidable defensive force.
The strategy underscores a long-term commitment to support Ukraine's defense capabilities, recognizing the ongoing conflict with Russia and the need for sustainable military strength.
With a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine still far off, the best way to guarantee Ukraine’s security, its supporters say, is to arm it to the teeth. To that end, on March 19th the European Commission outlined a two-part “porcupine strategy”. First, Europe would procure more weapons on Ukraine’s behalf, including crucial air-defence missiles. Second, it would boost Ukraine’s own defence industry, which it calls the most “cost-efficient way to support Ukraine’s military efforts”. The plan is the brainchild of Kaja Kallas, a former Estonian prime minister who is now the European Union’s top diplomat. She wants to double military aid to Ukraine this year, to €40bn ($44bn).
