About this report
Europe’s security establishment has designated a high strategic priority to reshaping the geography of defense procurement and industrial capacity in light of Russia’s war against Ukraine and related threats.
The NATO Strategic Concept (2022) and EU Strategic Compass (2022) both emphasized that the return of high-intensity war on the continent requires a rapid strengthening of allied defense-industrial bases and supply lines . Russia’s unprovoked invasion shattered European security assumptions, making the Russian Federation “the most significant and direct threat” to Allied peace and stability .
