The European Commission and the High Representative have presented a new defence roadmap to enhance defence capabilities across Europe.
The 'Preserving Peace - Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030' builds on the ReArm Europe Plan/Readiness 2030 and includes specific goals and timelines to address existing capability gaps.
Reinforcing Europe’s defence posture aligns with continued support for Ukraine.
The plan is a response to a request made by the European Council in June 2025.
