Greater cooperation with Ukraine in the military-industrial complex as a strategy for avoiding war

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : At the same time, emphasizing cooperation, interaction and competitiveness of the military-industrial complex, The White Paper provides wide opportunities to advance our individual interests and opens the way to participation of Ukraine, as a country outside the EU, on an equal basis, perhaps to "enter" the military-industrial complex once united by the real influence of Russia.
61% : And it is also important to remember that the basis of logistics is uninterrupted supply, including electrical energy, which, as is already clear, must not only be protected, but also defended.
59% : Accordingly, in its foreign policy, the EU will focus on preserving the existing format of ensuring its own security, trying to keep, first of all, the US in the focus of its attention.
55% : Looking at the implementation of such a project, it is worth noting that, despite leaving NATO as a priority for security, the EU is already developing cooperation within Europe.
55% : It is then obvious that the EU will rely only on NATO and, accordingly, the US to ensure its own security by 2030.
54% : The EU will likely increase the share of its own weapons in parallel, trying to increase production volumes, including those that will be produced together with Ukraine.
51% : Every state border is the result of war, and the outlines of all the states on the map introduce us to the strategic and political thinking of the victors, and political geography and peace treaties are also a strategic lesson..." So, it is precisely in light of the strategic lessons that we in Ukraine have learned today, waging war with the largest empire on the continent, I would like to note that the very definition of security and its unconditional achievement is based on fairly simple concepts that do not change over time, and most importantly - tested by our war.
50% : Are these treaties taken into account in the future vision, and what, for example, is the role of the UK, which is not a member of the EU but is located on the European continent and still has its own potential?
49% : Only our joint work will allow Ukraine to share not only its grief, but also its unique experience of waging war, which will help EU countries improve their defense strategies as soon as possible, and not only in the field of defense-industrial cooperation.
48% : How this will affect the declared capabilities of the remaining national armed forces of EU countries is still unknown.
48% : Thus, against the background of proposals for the consolidation of the defense industry and the declaration of collective combat capabilities, the White Paper for the period until 2030 does not plan the main - the formation of joint military structures within the EU and structures capable of managing them.
48% : This is a complex of measures that cannot be done without military participation.
38% : All this shows that despite the fact that the White Paper declares that the EU will prepare to deter external armed aggression and for this purpose the EU Member States must possess the full range of military capabilities, it remains unclear, who in the EU will be responsible for implementing joint projects, developing joint capabilities, and managing and using these capabilities within the framework of, for example, joint operations or airspace control outside NATO borders? Speaking specifically about military capabilities, I would also like to note that their acquisition in modern conditions is possible only through the implementation of the only one comprehensive system of transformations in a number of industries: * development and implementation of new technologies; * a radical reform of the military-industrial complex, implemented within a strict state program; * logistics and procurement, taking into account rapid and dramatic changes in needs; * managing processes not only on the battlefield, but also in state structures to achieve a defined political goal; * the structure of the Defense Forces and the Armed Forces, as the main carriers of capabilities; * doctrines of training and application of all components of the defense forces.
28% : This is almost the only way to bypass both political and other blockades within the EU, despite the fact that such a step carries significant geopolitical risks for member states.
