Episode notes

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels today, Monday, to discuss defense spending, without committing to real investments. This follows weeks of debate on the issue, fueled by growing concerns that Russia could test and destabilize Europe’s defenses at any moment. 

But instead of concrete funding plans, the focus of this meeting will be on identifying the EU’s priorities, securing necessary financial resources, and reinforcing existing partnerships.
