Kallas: EU Prepares Defense Map To Defend Itself Against Russian Federation
Kaya Callas

She emphasized that the EU is now facing an extraordinary surge in hybrid attacks.

This week, the European Union is presenting a defense roadmap that includes the development of systems to combat Russian drones.

This was announced by European diplomacy chief Kaja Kallas during a press conference with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga.

She stressed that the EU is now facing an "extraordinary surge" of hybrid attacks. Callas said that every time a Russian drone or aircraft violates the airspace of EU member states, "there is a risk of escalation, unintentional or not."

"Russia is playing war, and we are moving beyond a hypothetical conflict. To deter war, we must turn Europe's economic power into military deterrence," she said.

Callas said a roadmap for European defense would determine the development of capabilities in key areas, particularly anti-drone systems.

"It is clear that we need to strengthen our defenses against Russia. Not to provoke war, but on the contrary, to prevent war. This will be a manual on how to do that and it should also be fully coordinated with NATO," the EU high representative emphasized.
