The President of the European Commission: We must be prepared against the threats of the group of authoritarian countries including Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
The President of the European Commission warned that the countries of this continent must take a significant step forward to defend themselves against the threats from the group of authoritarian countries including Russia, Iran, and North Korea.
Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday, April 18th, at a summit at the European Union headquarters in Brussels that the world has become a dangerous place after several generations, and Europe is at the center of this danger.
The President of the European Commission called Russia, Iran, and North Korea a new group of tyrants who, according to her, undermine the rules-based international order and pressure our democracies to the point of collapse.
Ms. von der Leyen described Iran’s recent attack on Israel as the latest sign of the intentions of this group of tyrants and concluded that it is time for Europe to wake up for its defense and security.
According to her, the member countries of the European Union must quickly upgrade their defense industry capacities over the next five years.
