EU Proposes NATO-Style Mechanism to Address Drone and Cyber Threats

EU Proposes NATO-Style Mechanism to Address Drone and Cyber ThreatsPreviousNext

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed that the EU adopt a NATO-like mechanism to respond collectively to drone incidents, sabotage, and cyberattacks, many attributed to Russia. The system would allow member states to convene emergency meetings similar to NATO's Article 4, coordinating responses to threats below armed aggression. Recent incidents include drone incursions and sabotage in Germany, Denmark, Poland, and Lithuania. Von der Leyen also announced plans to establish a European Security Council involving partners like Britain and Ukraine.
