EU to deepen defence ties with Ukraine
Western Mail
|November 26, 2025
EUROPEAN Union legislators voted yesterday to deepen integration of the bloc's defence industry with Ukraine as US peace plan talks continue and Russia's unconventional warfare operations rattle the 27-nation bloc.
Members of the European Parliament voted 457-148, with 33 abstentions, to approve a 1.5-billion euro (£1.3 billion) programme, with 300 million euros (£262 million) slated for the Ukraine Support Instrument.
Raphael Glucksmann, an EU politician from France's S&D party, said the defence programme “will enable us to build a more resilient and sovereign Europe” through partnering with Ukraine to build a cutting-edge military industrial complex.
