Von der Leyen proposes European Security Council, warning Europe's threat level is climbing amid daily cyber attacks, sabotage and drone incursions
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed a new European Security Council for EU and like-minded leaders during her State of the European Union address, citing escalating Russian attacks and concerns over US commitment to NATO. She said cyber attacks, sabotage, arson and drone incursions are ramping up daily across Europe and warned the bloc's threat level is climbing, adding "We should be under no illusions about what is happening here." The proposal is an initiative, not an adopted institution.
