Andrius Kubilius, the European Commissioner for Defense, stated that Europe is not prepared to face a massive attack with Russian drones, emphasizing the need to learn from Ukraine's experience to build an effective defense ecosystem. In a speech in Vilnius, he mentioned that the Russians are advancing rapidly, and Europe must respond accordingly.
Kubilius highlighted that future wars will not be won with tanks, but with drones and missiles, calling for close collaboration with Ukraine to develop defense capabilities. He warned that without these measures, Europe risks making a "historic mistake" that would weaken both the continent and Ukraine. In this context, Europeans are intensifying their defense efforts, especially on the eastern flank, including plans to build an anti-drone wall.
