French President Emmanuel Macron proposed and chaired a meeting in the French capital Paris. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will host the next meeting in London, UK. Then the EU will organize an extraordinary high-level meeting at the EU headquarters in Brussels, Belgium.
Leaders of EU and NATO member countries in Europe as well as leaders of the EU and NATO hastily and hastily gathered and discussed like that because the new situation and times appeared, forcing them. They are forced to address three new issues that have arisen: the response to the new US administration during President Donald Trump's second term, the issue of continuing to provide aid to Ukraine and the issue of European countries ensuring security for themselves and Ukraine.
The goal that Europe is aiming for is to become military-grade enough to be able to ensure its own security and no longer depend on the US for security as well as to deter Russia; to help Ukraine also be military-grade enough not to lose to Russia on the battlefield. But at the same time, the continent's goal is also to prevent the US and Russia from settling the end of the conflict in Ukraine and post-war Ukraine as well as in Europe.
The above high-level meetings of EU and NATO members in Europe and some partners have given the first ideas. The EU has in principle agreed to launch a continental rearmament plan with a total estimated capital of 800 billion euros. The European Commission has a plan to make this amount of money, but whether the financial plan is feasible in practice or not is another matter.
Mr Macron proposed an air and sea ceasefire and not aimed at energy infrastructure, but was rejected by no one because Russia immediately rejected it. This person also offered a French nuclear deterrent to ensure security for Europe, but was also hesitated because French nuclear weapons are currently only compatible with French military aircraft and subscribers.
Mr. Starmer increased British aid to Ukraine in terms of finance and military while the EU was divided on how to continue supporting Ukraine and whether to pressure Ukraine into peace negotiations with Russia.
It is impossible to say that Europe is not proactive and dynamic in mobilizing itself. In difficulty, some of the above ideas and proposals have been come up, but a truly appropriate, effective and feasible escape strategy has not been shaped. This continent still needs time to no longer be plagued by hardship and hardship.
