European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told EU lawmakers that Europe must take responsibility for its own security and economic future, calling this moment the bloc’s “independence” test as wars reshape the global order. Speaking ahead of a European Council meeting, she said the EU would accelerate defence spending, reduce reliance on Russian fossil fuels and decide how to finance Ukraine’s needs for 2026–27, including options tied to immobilised Russian assets or joint borrowing. Von der Leyen said funding Kyiv was central to Europe’s security strategy, even as the EU confronts slower growth, rising defence demands and a shifting global balance of power.
