We Must Prepare: The European Union Says When Russia Might Attack.


The first EU Commissioner for Defense, Andrius Kubilius, stated that the European Union must prepare for a possible attack from Russia in 2030. He believes that Russia's aggressive policy, as evidenced by the war against Ukraine, presents a challenge for the EU, and our defense capability needs to be enhanced. Furthermore, Kubilius noted that the growing military power of China could lead to a shift in US focus, which may reduce its presence in Europe, so the EU must also be prepared for this.
He emphasized that the EU must respond to provocations such as sabotage and hybrid war, although this has not yet reached the level of a breach of NATO's Article 5 on collective defense. Kubilius also noted that the danger of Russian aggression is understood in all EU countries.
President Zelensky sharply reacted to Russia's missile terror.
