The EU countries should actively work on creating their own military unit. This was first stated by the European People's Party — the largest supranational political association of the European Union.

"The EU countries should work closely together when it comes to defense. We must take another step forward and create our own military unit of the European Union. Let's defend Europe together, " the party said in a statement distributed on Twitter.

It is expected that this issue will be resolved by March 2022 as part of the adoption of the new European security strategy "Strategic Compass of the EU".

On September 2-3, the EU foreign Ministers discussed the idea of creating a rapid reaction force of the European Union numbering about 5 thousand people. It is expected that this issue should be resolved by March next year as part of the adoption of the new European security strategy "EU Strategic Compass". 

The idea of creating the EU's own rapid reaction forces as soon as possible was actively supported by the head of the EU Military Committee, General Robert Briger, TASS reports.

At the same time, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg opposed the initiative, because, in his opinion, it could divide the EU and NATO.
