EU Warns of Russian Gray Zone Threats, Plans Defense | JQJO

The EU's top official, Ursula von der Leyen, warned of Russia's "targeted gray zone campaign" against Europe, citing airspace violations, sabotage, and cyberattacks. She emphasized the need for a robust response and proposed a 2030 plan to counter such threats, including a "drone wall." The initiative aims to bolster European defense, create jobs within the continent, and prevent unsustainable spending on counter-drone measures, drawing lessons from Ukraine's experience. EU leaders are reportedly hardening their stance on Russian provocations.
