Ten European countries, including Ukraine, announce a joint ballistic missile defense coalition
Ten European countries, including Ukraine, have announced the creation of an integrated ballistic missile defense coalition. Along with Ukraine, the group includes the United Kingdom, Norway, and seven EU member states: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Denmark. The coalition plans to build an integrated missile defense architecture to deter future missile threats. The new framework will complement the missile defense systems already in place across Europe.
