Europe's rearmament pace insufficient to deter Russia by 2030, warns analysis
SMELO·UA · RU · EU·about 17 hours ago
The European Defense Agency's report, seen by Reuters, concludes that EU member states are not rearming quickly or effectively enough to be ready to defend against Russia by 2030. This is a continuation of established warnings about European defense readiness, but the explicit 2030 timeline and agency-level assessment add urgency. The report's findings are based on internal analysis and are likely to pressure EU leaders to accelerate defense spending and procurement.
