The hope is it will bring individual nations\u2019 defense and military investments closer together to minimize fragmentation, inefficiencies and duplication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Completing this document is \u201cthe number-one priority\u201d for France during its presidency of the EU Council, and will help the EU become a \u201cmaster of its destiny\u201d in the defense and security realm, said French Armed Forces Minister Florence Parly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis compass will allow for \u2026 a Europe fully capable of protecting its people, that does not submit to the appetites and priorities of others, and that is capable of defending its interests by speaking with one voice,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space sovereignty and security will be an important topic for the EU going forward, and the French will provide a \u201cvery important contribution\u201d towards that objective, Borrell said. Defense leaders agreed to develop an EU-centered space strategy to be completed sometime next year, and launched initial discussions during their meeting in Brest, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In March, France will host the second iteration of a new space exercise dubbed ASTERX in Toulouse, Parly noted. \u201cThis will give us the occasion to once again meet to reflect upon the way we should think about this European defensive space strategy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under its EU Council presidency, Paris will also plan a new maritime exercise, to take place this year in the northwest of the Indian Ocean, drawing upon its experience leading maritime policy among nations in the Gulf of Guinea. \u201cThere is a necessity to develop a more globally coordinated maritime presence,\u201d Parly said. France also plans to release a new \u201cseabed warfare strategy\u201d in 2022, she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aligned on Ukraine<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European Union has followed the escalating standoff between Russia and Western nations about Ukraine, Borrell noted. The EU chief diplomat traveled to the country\u2019s Donbas region last week in the first visit of a high-level EU official to the area since Russia\u2019s annexation of Crimea in 2014, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been \u201cmore than 100 contacts\u201d between U.S. and EU officials on the topic \u201cat all levels,\u201d he added. While the ongoing dialogue with Russia on the situation in Ukraine \u201cis a must,\u201d Borrell emphasized that the bloc\u2019s position \u201cremains the same.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAny further aggression against Ukraine will have massive consequences and severe costs for Russia,\u201d he said. The EU has allocated 30 million euros (U.S. $35 million) to increase Ukrainian \u201cballistic\u201d capacities, and will prepare a new mission to help the nation counter potential cyber attacks, he noted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defense ministers met this week in Brest, on the tip of western France, to make headway on an upcoming proposal dubbed the \u201cStrategic
