Live Ukraine War | Report Warns: European Union Not Ready in Time for Defense Against Russia
An EU report warns that member states are not rearming quickly or effectively enough to achieve a strong defense with sufficient deterrence by 2030 against Russian aggression. The European Defence Agency urges significantly increased investment and tempo to meet this goal. Additionally, the EU imposed restrictive measures on Russian journalist Xenia Fedorova for her role in hybrid activities and information manipulation, freezing her assets. Meanwhile, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania applied national sanctions against oligarchs Alisher Usmanov and Mikhail Fridman after they were removed from the EU list, arguing that Russia shows no willingness to end the war.
