Key points

Russia is identified as the most significant threat to European security, necessitating urgent support for Ukraine's sovereignty.
The EU faces multifaceted hybrid threats, including cyberattacks, sabotage of infrastructure, and foreign information manipulation.
There is a critical need to close the 'deterrence gap' by investing in air defense, drones, electronic warfare, and artificial intelligence.
The report supports strengthening the European defence industry through initiatives like the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) and the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP).
