  <abstract displayLabel="Summary">With full-scale war on the European continent and doubts about US support, the EU still treats this existential security crisis like a regular bureaucratic undertaking. It is against this backdrop that Commissioner Kubilius is expected to engineer a genuine European Defence Union – and in our view, raising the right legal questions amounts to answering them: differentiated integration, pursued by a core group of willing member states, is the way forward.</abstract>
