    AI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

    The report adds extensive new content on the US shift and the need for Europe to strengthen defence, including calls for security commitments to Ukraine and welcoming new initiatives like the White Paper and ReArm Europe. It updates positions on the Middle East, including the ceasefire in Gaza and the Arab Recovery Plan, and on the Great Lakes region, condemning M23 and calling for suspension of military cooperation with Rwanda. It adds calls for action against the Russian shadow fleet, for an EU drone package, and for increased defence funding, including common debt and a defence bank. It strengthens language on border protection, including physical barriers, and on military mobility, and updates the EU's partnership with North America and Indo-Pacific countries. The other changes are formal: renumbering, decimal separators, and updated citations.

It adds extensive sections on hybrid threats, cybersecurity, space, maritime security, and civil-military preparedness. It broadens partnerships with NATO, US, UK, and Indo-Pacific countries, and enhances parliamentary scrutiny. The other changes are formal or wording: renumbering, punctuation, and minor rephrasing.
