Europe needs to prepare for a reduction in the U.S. presence on the continent and spend more to arm itself, help Ukraine and fend off Russia, Defense Commissioner Andrius #Kubilius said Wednesday.

Russia not winning the war

#Kubilius said #EU must be ready to defend Ukraine * itself with or without #US backing.

While US support has been vital, he said the EU’s long-term security depends on its own strategic, industrial strength

"450 million #Europeans should not be begging 340 million #Americans to protect #Europe from 140 million #Russians who cannot take on 38 million #Ukrainians," Kubilius said.

Kubilius: the EU needs at least €70 billion to strengthen military mobility.

The bloc's infrastructure is not yet ready for the rapid mobility of military troops and equipment across the continent.

An initial €70 billion is needed to urgently make it fit for purpose, the EU Commissioner for Defence and Space Andrius Kubilius told Euronews in an exclusive interview.

EU-Verteidigungskommissar Kubilius: Seine Waffe heißt Verhandlungsgeschick

Kein Geld, keine Armee, keine Waffen: Auf den ersten Blick sind das schlechte Voraussetzungen für Andrius Kubilius, den neuen EU-Verteidigungskommissar. Dennoch trauen ihm viele zu, in dem Amt etwas erreichen zu können. Von Sabrina Fritz.

#EU Defense and Space Commissioner Andrius #Kubilius wants the EU’s next seven-year budget to allocate “not far away from” €100 billion for defense.

That would be a massive increase as the current seven-year budget has only €10 billion for defense.

#Europa ist handlungsfähig wenn wir das tatsächlich wollen. Wir müssen uns dann aber auch damit beschäftigen, wenn es konkret wird, nicht nur in Sonntagsreden und Panikreaktionen auf #Trump.

The #EU must be quick to increase its defences as #Russia may be ready for a confrontation in six to eight years, the nominee to be the EU's first defence commissioner told Reuters in an interview.

#Kubilius said his first job as a commissioner would be to explore, jointly with EU top diplomat nominee Kaja #Kallas, what resources the EU needs to be ready for a military challenge. He is aiming to complete an exploratory study within the first 100 days.

There's no doubt about where Andrius #Kubilius stands on #Ukraine; he's a fierce backer and that matters as he was appointed the #EU's first defense commissioner on Tuesday.

"For those who are arguing that Ukraine should agree with the peace conditions of [Russian leader Vladimir] #Putin, I would suggest to look into the possibility to offer to Putin territory of their own country" he said.

The #EU’s first-ever defense chief, Andrius #Kubilius, said it’s worth exploring the option of issuing joint bonds in order to raise the additional €500 billion ($556 billion) needed to bring the European Union’s industry up to speed.

“I would like to see much bigger numbers,” he said, referring to the bloc’s current military spending. He added that the EU can’t wait until the next seven-year budget comes into force in 2028.

#Kubilius: l'#Ue sia pronta a qualunque evenienza con Mosca

"La #Russia costituisce la più grande minaccia alla sicurezza dell'#Europa. L'Ue deve essere pronta a qualunque evenienza avendo a disposizione nei nostri depositi abbastanza equipaggiamento militare e sufficiente personale militare pronto per la mobilitazione". Lo sottolinea in un'intervista a un gruppo di agenzie internazionali tra cui l'ANSA, Andrius Kubilius, ex premier lituano e commissario designato alla Difesa.
