Executive Summary: Europe’s security landscape has fundamentally shifted since Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine. All NATO and EU governments are rapidly raising defense budgets: 24 of 32 NATO members will now meet the 2%-of-GDP guideline, with major countries aiming even higher (e.g. UK targeting 2.5% by 2027, Germany proposing €60–63 billion annually, and France mulling 5% of GDP).
In response, new institutional initiatives have emerged – NATO’s 2024 Industrial Capacity Expansion Pledge and EU programs like the €150 b SAFE fund for joint procurement, the European Defence Fund (EDF) and Ammunition Production Act (ASAP) – aimed at boosting Europe’s ability to arm Ukraine and rebuild stocks.
