Abstract

The article describes the European Union's reaction to the war in Ukraine, which was initiated by Russia. The EU condemns Russia's military aggression and imposes extensive sanctions against Russia. Measures are taken to reduce energy dependence on Russia and strengthen the defense capabilities of EU member states. The sanctions have massive effects on the Russian economy. The EU supports Ukraine with military aid and financial assistance. NATO is increasing its troops in Europe, and the EU is planning joint procurement of weapons to support Ukraine. The EU shows both strengths and weaknesses in its response to the crisis. The EU should continue to support Ukraine with extensive economic aid and arms deliveries, as well as impose stricter sanctions on Russia. The EU can replace most of its vital raw material and energy imports from Russia with other sources. The EU should also seek alternative energy sources to become more independent. The expansion of the EU to include Ukraine should be secured through NATO expansion, and a concept for the reorganization of Europe should be developed. [Extracted from the article]
