More details In 2025, Europe is experiencing significant shifts in its security and defense policies. The separation of Ukraine's and Europe's security is deemed impossible, as underscored by leaders such as Antonio Costa. Major developments include the Rearm Europe project, proposed by Ursula von der Leyen, fostering a potential European defense union. As the US recalibrates its NATO commitments, Europe seeks satellite alternatives to Starlink for Ukraine. NATO, under Rutte, stresses increasing military production. With looming threats from Russia, highlighted by Donald Tusk's warning, Europe's readiness to defend itself has become crucial. European nations demand a more autonomous defense policy independent from the United States, a sentiment echoed by leaders like Emmanuel Macron. From summits discussing security guarantees to ground troop commitments, Europe's integration and collaboration are key in the geopolitical landscape.
