Rome, March 2nd (LaPresse) – ”After a long period of inadequate investment, the time has come to increase long-term defense investments for the security of the European Union, given the geo-strategic environment in which we live. We must prepare for the worst, we must increase military spending”. This was said by the President of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, at the end of the London summit. ‘And for this reason we will present a complete plan for the rearmament of Europe on March 6, when we will have the European Council of leaders’, she added. “It's for the security of the European Union,” Ms. von der Leyen continued, referring to this plan for ‘rearming Europe,’ adding that the plan could help develop advanced air shields, for example. Regarding the future of war-torn Ukraine, Ms. von der Leyen said that ”security guarantees are of the utmost importance. We must put Ukraine in a position of strength, so that it has the means to fortify and protect itself.” ‘In practice, Ukraine is being transformed into an indigestible steel porcupine for potential invaders,’ she concluded.
