EU seeks NATO-style response to Russian hybrid attacks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
BRUSSELS — EU defense ministers want the bloc to develop a common response to the growing wave of Russian hybrid attacks.

The protocol was proposed by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her State of the Union speech earlier this month, where she framed it as Eu
Kallas scraps new high-level European defense group in fresh blow to her leadership (opens the original)

BRUSSELS — The European Union’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas on Sunday was forced to cancel the launch of a new high-level group made up of former political and military leaders following pressure from EU member countries, in what could prove another blow to the former Estonian prime minister.

Read excerpt
German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius on Sunday said he is in favor of excluding potential far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) ministers in state administrations from being included in the sharing of classified information.
