► Europe still poorly equipped to protect itself, according to a study
Europe lacks military personnel and its defense capabilities remain insufficient, even if its spending has increased since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, according to a study by a British think tank.
The main European armed forces “remain understaffed, too many of them continuing to lose troops without sufficiently encouraging the younger generation to get involved”said the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). “They continue to rely on the United States to varying degrees in all military domains”deplored this group of experts which is organizing a forum in the Czech Republic to strengthen European defense.
This report is published at a time when European countries are questioning the persistence of American military support for Ukraine after the election of Donald Trump.
