In addition to loosening fiscal rules, Von der Leyen said she would also set out a "wider package" of measures to boost spending tailor-made for each of the 27 capitals linked to their level of defense spending.

"Now is the time to move mountains in the European Union," said the ex-German defense minister.

It has taken 3 years but we might FINALLY be seeing Europe stand up for itself!

It would be perfect to have some sort of agreement to help Ukraine more before the fake Trump "peace negotiations".
The rest of the world (non US) really needs to back Ukraine in this situation. And EU is closest to help, and it is in our own interest.

This may in fact be what Trump wants, he wants Europe to do the heavy lifting, and for USA to score the mineral rights and profit.
