The European Union is taking significant steps in security and defense. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has brought joint arms procurement to the forefront for the establishment of a European army.

This new mechanism will assist member states in renewing their military stocks and will meet the increasing demand for arms production due to the war in Ukraine.

Countries like Germany and France have announced that they will increase investments in their defense industries. This is part of efforts to enhance Europe's military strength.

Von der Leyen emphasized the need for collective action to ensure European security. "The time to live in dreams is over," she stated.

The United Nations is also developing strategies to ensure international security. In this context, it is emphasized that Europe needs to strengthen its own defense industry.
