Key Messages and Expected Steps<\/p>\n
On March 23, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission Roxana Minzatu and EU Commissioner for Equality, Readiness, and Crisis Management Aja Labib will open the session together with Oleksiy Kuleba.<\/p>\n
According to the press service, the strategy launched in March 2025 responds to global shifts, where geopolitical developments, climate events, and technological risks are increasingly demanding a holistic and coordinated European approach.<\/p>\n
Special attention at the event will be given to lessons learned from Russia\u2019s war against Ukraine, and to defining the next steps on the path toward the Union\u2019s full readiness.<\/p>\n
The Euro Council urges leveraging Ukraine\u2019s experience to bolster Europe\u2019s defense readiness.<\/p>\n
Applying the conclusions should strengthen coordination among member states and improve the joint response to crisis challenges, particularly in civil protection and crisis management.<\/p>\n
The final summary of the event should outline the next steps in strengthening the EU\u2019s defense and crisis readiness, as well as deepen the integration of member states\u2019 efforts in the joint system for responding to emergencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Top officials and experts will gather in Brussels to assess achievements and tense gaps, hinting at bold proposals…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46339,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[211,210,26251,26252,12069,26253,26250,38,26254],"class_list":{"0":"post-46338","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-brussels","8":"tag-belgium","9":"tag-brussels","10":"tag-brussels-conference","11":"tag-civil-protection","12":"tag-crisis-management","13":"tag-eu-preparedness-strategy","14":"tag-eu-preparedness-strategy-brussels-conference-civil-protection-crisis-management-oleksii-kuleba","15":"tag-news","16":"tag-oleksii-kuleba"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@dk\/116278497556388217","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46338","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46338"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46338\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/46339"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46338"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46338"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/dk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46338"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
