The EU summit in Copenhagen, held on 1–2 October 2025, demonstrated the lack of coordination and contradictory positions of the European Union member states, writes The Guardian.
“The meeting [1–2 October 2025 – ed.], convened with the aim of reaching consensus on the main priorities for European rearmament, became a shameful display of power struggles, political infighting and hidden motives that hinder attempts to build a unified European defence,” the publication says.
According to The Guardian, the EU leaders’ negotiations “turned into a cacophony” and revealed Europe’s weakness and disunity.
Earlier, the European Parliament adopted a resolution calling on European Union countries to shoot down Russian aircraft that fly into their airspace.
