EU Defense Framework Against Russia

In response to escalating security threats from Russia, the EU is advancing towards establishing a trilateral legal framework involving the European Commission, Parliament, and CSG leadership for rapid defense deployment. This initiative seeks to enhance collective defense capabilities while ensuring civil liberties protections through parliamentary oversight. This development follows a series of hybrid threats from Russia aimed at both Europe and the United States, highlighting the challenges posed by ineffective sanctions and the vulnerabilities within NATO’s protective mechanisms, which underscores the urgency for a coordinated response.
