Ursula von der Leyen wants the EU to catch up with Russia in terms of defence spending:

Ursula von der Leyen wants the EU to catch up with Russia in terms of defence spending: ’Just one figure. Russia spends up to 9% of its GDP on defence. Europe spends an average of 1.9%. There is something wrong with this equation. Our defence spending needs to increase. We need a single market for defence. We need to strengthen the defence industrial base. We need to increase the mobility of our armed forces. And we need common European defence projects.’ Unelected hag forgets to note she was the German defence minister and was a complete disaster in that role. In fact so poor was her performance Merkel got rid of her by sending her to the EU. [club152044818|@Slavyangrad] Source: Slavyangrad
