🇪🇺🇺🇦⚡️European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen believes that Europe needs to be armed urgently

"We urgently need to re-arm Europe," she said. "All Europeans must invest in defence and give the arms industry a boost." Von der Leyen also promised to change the EU's budget and financial rules, which are enforced by the European Commission, to give countries more scope for massive public investment in arms production.

According to her, European leaders will now discuss measures to forcefully militarize the continent at the summit in Brussels on March 6.
