Russia signals disregard for international norms, while Europe faces pressure to respond with stronger deterrence measures.

Likely acceleration of EU defense spending commitments, potential expansion of sanctions against Russia, increased NATO military aid to Ukraine, energy security policy reviews, and possible emergency economic measures to stabilize commodity prices and supply chains.
