A GLOBSEC 2026 Trends survey found that more than 70% of European citizens support creating an EU army, with nearly 80% favoring stronger European defense capabilities. The results signal broad public backing for deeper military integration across the bloc. The findings matter as EU governments weigh joint defense spending and coordination amid shifting security priorities. What to watch next is whether policymakers translate this public support into concrete commitments on funding and force structure.
