France increases defense budget despite strained public finances (opens the original)
Read excerpt
PARIS — France will increase its defense budget next year despite increasingly strained public finances, according to a document obtained by POLITICO. The French government will present later on Thursday a 2027 budget that earmarks €63.4 billion for military expenditures, compared with €57 billion this year. About 12% will be dedicated to nuclear deterrence and 43% to the purchase and maintenance of military equipment. That's in line with increases foreseen by the military planning law adopted o
Switzerland’s neutrality vote puts Russia sanctions on the line (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Voters in Switzerland will decide in a referendum Sunday whether to enshrine a stricter definition of the country's centuries-old neutrality into the constitution.

Read excerpt
PARIS — French presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen is open to continue providing defensive military gear to Ukraine but is against sending money to the war-torn country. “Given the extent of what we've done so far — which is considerable — we're saying we can't do it,” the far-right National Rally leader said on TV channel LCI Wednesday evening. “This is not an act of hostility toward Ukraine. We can continue to train their soldiers and their armed forces, and we can continue to provide them with
