EU taps veteran leaders to rethink Europe's defense posture

EU foreign-policy chief Kaja Kallas announced a high-level group of former political and military leaders from the EU, UK, and Ukraine to reflect on how Europe can better defend itself as the U.S. role evolves; the panel will launch next week and focus on leveraging European strengths and Ukraine's experience rather than duplicating US capabilities, aiming to shape European defense thinking amid security pressures.
