Read moreEuropean Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas stressed during a press conference on Monday that in order to reach its 2030 target, Europe must be quicker and more effective in rearming itself.
"Europe needs decisive change in the scale and pace of defense investment, capability development, innovation and industrial capacity," she noted.
Meanwhile, talking about Ukraine, she shared that the member states agreed on a €6.6 billion European peace facility fund.
