EUISS report: European military integration, not just spending, key to deterring Russia
By
Euractiv
Summary
An EUISS report argues that Europe's ability to deter Russia depends not on increased defence spending alone, but on shifting from parallel national militaries to genuinely integrated operational systems. The report suggests that a more "Europeanised NATO" is the most obvious path forward, as NATO already provides the established framework through which European forces could operate cohesively. This integration could potentially take over the US deterrence role in Europe.
