EU to exclude US, UK and Turkey from €150bn rearmament fund; Europe is only half-awake from its long sleep; US could take over Ukrainian nuclear power plants, Trump tells Zelenskyy
FT: EU to exclude US, UK and Turkey from €150bn rearmament fund
Arms companies from the US, UK and Turkey will be excluded from a new €150bn EU defence funding push unless their home countries sign defence and security pacts with Brussels, `The Financial Times' informs.
The planned fund for capitals to spend on weapons would only be open to EU defence companies and those from third countries that have signed defence agreements with the bloc, according to a European Commission proposal put forward.
It would also exclude any advanced weapons systems upon which a third country had "design authority" -- restrictions on its construction or use of particular components -- or control over its eventual use.
That would exclude the US Patriot air and missile defence platform, which is manufactured by defence contractor RTX, and other US weapons systems where Washington has restrictions on where they can be used.
The policy is a victory for France and other countries that have demanded a "Buy European" approach to the continent's defence investment push, amid fears over the long-term dependability of the US as a defence partner and supplier triggered by President Donald Trump.
At least 65 per cent of the cost of the products would need to be spent in the EU, Norway and Ukraine. The remainder could be spent on products from third countries that have signed a security pact.

No, not mercenaries but foreigners are “incorporated” in the Ukrainian Armed Forces … a matter of semantics stupid. 😊
NATO mercenaries destroyed in Kryvyi Rih | EU DisInfo |
Foreign fighters in Ukraine are incorporated into the Ukrainian forces and are not classified as mercenaries or members of Private Military Contractors. This practice is common in various armies.
Ukraine has called on experienced foreign nationals to join its foreign legion. Foreigners who serve in Ukraine's International Legion, are fully legal servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine rather than mercenaries.
Foreign volunteers, who officially joined the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, under the 1977 protocol to the Geneva Conventions (Part I, Article 1), fight against the Russian occupiers in Ukraine legally, as they are a part of the structure of subordination to Ukrainian government agencies.
As pointed out by experts, the nationality of the soldier is not an issue.
These heroes all die on “home” soil … peace at last.
