“By pooling our defense industrial base, our research, and our operational experience, our goal is to build a shared capability against ballistic missiles for Europe (…). This action is not aimed at any people, but in defense of our own,” stress the leaders of Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Ukraine, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom in a joint statement.
