Enhancing EU support for Ukraine: conditions for the European Peace Facility and replenishing capabilities through joint procurement to efficiently enhance military support to Ukraine and the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base
On 6 February, SEDE will exchange views with Daniel FIOTT, Head of VUB Defence and Statecraft Programme, and Sophia BESCH, Carnegie Endowment for International Peace fellow in the framework of a Hearing dedicated to the EU support for Ukraine. The Hearing will provide an opportunity to assess recent EU defence instruments launched in the context of the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. In this regard, the discussion will focus on the European Peace Facility (EPF), central pillar in the EU's unprecedented provision of defensive lethal military equipment to Ukraine, and the new legislative proposal for a Joint Defence Procurement Instrument, which shall help EU Member States to quickly restock capabilities and enhance support to the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB).
