Four years of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and European contributions to a just peace and sustained security for Ukraine: MEPs debate

MEPs debate on EU Defence Readiness. A draft resolution says that, due to Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, military mobility has become an essential enabler for common European security and defence. It is also now crucial for the security of the EU’s eastern flank, in particular the Baltic countries and Poland. Given the movement of military equipment across the EU can be a protracted effort, MEPs suggest removing existing administrative and financial barriers, as well as infrastructure obstacles to create a ‘military Schengen’.
