Romania leads Europe in support for a common EU army, with 82% of respondents favoring the initiative, according to the GLOBSEC Trends 2026 report. This support is influenced by the ongoing war in Ukraine and concerns over U.S. military commitments in Europe. The survey included 14 countries, revealing that while Europeans desire stronger defense capabilities, they also wish to maintain NATO membership. The report indicates that 78% of EU respondents believe Europe should enhance its defense capabilities, and 68% view Russia as a security threat. However, only 34% feel their country is prepared for a major security crisis. The findings highlight a divide on nuclear capabilities, with varying levels of support across different nations.
