Europe on the brink of unprecedented strengthening of defense capabilities: details of Macron's plan.


Macron proposes a plan to strengthen the European security and defense system
French President Emmanuel Macron proposes a plan to strengthen the European security and defense system. He emphasizes the need for swift strategic decisions and increased investment in the continent's security.
European funding for the defense sector
Macron put forward the idea of joint European funding for the defense sector to expand procurement and production capabilities of defense products.
The creation of a single European army is unlikely
The French President noted that the creation of a single European army is unlikely, but the integration of defense capabilities is necessary for greater autonomy from the USA.
Disproportion of defense spending
Macron pointed out the disproportion of defense spending among the EU member states and countries at the front: 'Today, frontline countries spend 4-5% of GDP on defense, while we remain at 2%. These figures have remained at Cold War levels. This approach must change.'
Security guarantees for Ukraine
Macron has no intention of sending troops to Ukraine immediately, but he is considering the possibility of providing security guarantees after a ceasefire with Russia.
Strengthening European military forces
The French President stated that a new era in global politics will force Europeans to make choices and strengthen their military efforts.
