EU Defense Commissioner proposes $105 billion defense budget allocation

This amount would be a significant increase from the current 10 billion euros allocated for the #EU’s seven-year budget.

Kubilius emphasized, in his interview with Politico, the need to prepare for potential Russian aggression against EU countries.

“If we fail in #Ukraine, then of course, the possibility of Russian military aggression against the EU member states can increase,” he said.

Kubilius identified Vladimir #Putin as the EU's main adversary and stressed that supporting Ukraine’s victory is crucial for European security.
