Abstract
The European debate on strengthening defence capabilities has intensified in response to changes in the international environment caused by the geopolitical rivalry between the US and China and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. This forces the European Union to define its future place in this geopolitical game of powers. Questions about the direction of further development and strengthening of the EU’s autonomous defence capabilities remain valid in the context of the expected withdrawal of the United States from the European continent in favour of Asia and the Pacific. Another controversial issue is increasing the EU’s defence potential, while at the same time obliging the EU member states belonging to NATO to fulfil their alliance commitments. The EU has been trying to develop the Common Security and Defence Policy for years, but despite the actions taken so far, the military dimension is still very limited.
