Despite growing alignment on defence, France and Germany remain divided by strategic goals and fiscal capacity. Both nations agree Russia is the EU’s greatest threat and have pledged billions for defence, but France’s strategic autonomy and nuclear priorities clash with Germany’s multilateral approach. Disputes over a joint €100bn fighter jet project and fiscal limits further slow integration. As Germany calls for rule changes and France proposes joint EU borrowing, the vision of a united EU defence remains elusive. Experts warn the Ukraine crisis may result in EU enlargement rather than deeper military or fiscal integration.
