US EditionThe European Union proposes deepening defense industry ties with Ukraine
The EU aims to boost defense budgets to 131 billion euros and integrate Ukraine's defense industry with the bloc’s procurement programs amid ongoing regional security concerns.
- On Tuesday, EU Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius proposed deeper integration of the European Union defense industry with Ukraine in Strasbourg, urging Ukrainian firms' access to the EU Defence Investment Program.
- Amid rising defense budgets, EU spending is expected to reach 392 billion euros this year and about 3.4 trillion euros over the next decade, as Russia's unconventional warfare persists.
- Policy measures include urging EU member countries to buy most military equipment within the bloc, with EU-based defense companies seeking tax breaks for projects like Eastern Flank Watch under the EU Defense Industry Transformation Roadmap.
- EU lawmakers are due to vote on a $1.7 billion program, with 300 million euros for the Ukraine Support Instrument, while the European Commission plans to propose boosting the defense and space budget to $153 billion.
- Longer term, the road map positions the EU to simplify rules and steer investment, accelerating weapons procurement and strengthening Ukraine's defense industry within European Commission projects, boosting EU self-reliance.
