     Russia's invasion of Ukraine has triggered major changes in military policy and strategies in many European countries. The Russo-Ukrainian war revealed the weak points of EU countries that relied too much on non-traditional security measures such as international organizations and economic interdependence.

     Having realized the importance of traditional security measures, European countries have taken various measures to strengthen their military capabilities, raising defense spending, reformation of the conscription system, and strengthening security cooperations.

     Under the influence of the war, European countries will continue to invest in defense infrastructure, equipment, and manpower.
