A recent survey reveals that over 70% of Europeans support the establishment of a European army, with Romania showing the highest enthusiasm at 82%. Concerns about U.S. support and divisions over the Ukraine war drive this sentiment. The GLOBSEC Trends 2026 report indicates strong backing for military capabilities across EU member states, even in traditionally skeptical countries. While many favor a European army, support for NATO remains high, with 77% of respondents wanting to stay in the alliance. Additionally, there is significant backing for reintroducing mandatory military service in several countries. The survey also highlights a growing perception of the U.S. as a security threat, particularly in Germany, where opinions on the Ukraine conflict are notably divided.
