An in-depth review on the war in Ukraine’s impact on the European defence industry

In a region more accustomed to integration and peace than war, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sent shocks reverberating through Europe’s defence industry. 

In this report, the first produced by our recently-launched Europe Watch research program, our analysts examine the impact of the war in Ukraine on Europe’s defence industry. It will map out key stakeholders within the sector, examine the flows of military equipment to Ukraine from Europe, and assess the policies that have been implemented at both the national and EU level. It seeks to outline the progress that has been made, but also the challenges that Europe’s defence industry will have to confront as it continues to support Ukraine and adapt to an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.
