Líderes de la UE discutirán un plan de rearme de €800.000m

By Jordi Bou

March 6, 2025 - Líderes de la UE se reúnen en Bruselas para una cumbre especial en que discutirán propuestas para movilizar hasta €800.000 millones para el rearme de Europa y para ofrecer apoyo militar "inmediato" a Ucrania después de que Washhington suspendió su asistencia.

Ahead of the summit, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen unveiled ReArm, a sweeping EU defence initiative aimed at drastically increasing military spending and strengthening European security, including enhanced support for Ukraine.

The move came hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the aid freeze, intensifying Washington’s push for a peace deal with Russia and confirming its pivot away from Kyiv and its European allies.

Key to the proposals are steps to spur defence investments by the EU’s 27 member states by easing the bloc's strict budget rules, as well as a new €150bn loan facility.
