The first Defense Commissioner of the European Union has issued a clear warning: the “most dangerous moment” in the world may soon come as 2027, when Russia and China can coordinate the aggressive tricks designed to overwhelm the Western defense.
The European Union Commissioner Andreas Kubilius echoed recent comments for air operations for the Commissioner of Defense and Space, US Air Force General Alexus Grinkvich, NATO’s top commander. The two officials exposed 2027 as a potential flashpoint year when the military action by Moscow and Beijing simultaneously can spread the translants’ alliance to its limit.
Kubilius told reporters during a briefing in Washington, “The most dangerous moment can take place in 2027, when both Russia and China would coordinate these aggressive moves,” Kubilius told reporters during a briefing in Washington.
Gynkevich warned last week that the United States and its European allies should be ready to fight two wars together – one in Europe, Russian President Vladimir Putin should move forward in Ukraine or Eastern Europe, and in another Pacific if Chinese President Xi Jinping started an attack on Taiwan.

“We are going to the need of every kit and tools and sages that we can beat it,” Ginkevich said.
In a speech on Monday evening, Kubilius stated that the US has “right and reason” to focus its focus on China.
“We are assuming that you, Americans, really correct and longer in perspective that Chinese starts moving more and more towards Indo-Pacific to reduce growing military power,” he said.
Former Lithuanian Prime Minister said, “We need Europeans to increase their defense capabilities,”
Their warnings are aligned with growing concerns in the US defense establishment, often referred to as “Davidson Window”-East Indo-Pacific command chief Adam. A word coined by Philip Davidson, which testified to the Congress in 2021 that China could try to forcibly reunite with Taiwan by 2027.

The 2027 window has taken additional request as China increases its military modernization program, which XI Jinping has asked by the Centenary of the People’s Liberation Army to achieve “world-level” warfighting capabilities by the Centenary of the People’s Liberation Army in 2027. The US and NATO officials also fear that Russia also removed the burns. Strategic pressure on two fronts simultaneously.
Kubilius traveled to Washington to assess a possible decrease in European defense capabilities as the US rapidly attracted its strategic attention to Indo-Pacific. He said that the European Union member states are actively preparing to change the US military currency on the continent.
By 2025, more than 80,000 American troops are deployed in Europe – a widespread decline in an appearance in the coming years as the Pentagon suppresses its European colleagues to handle more responsibility for their defense.
“We are preparing ourselves to take responsibility on our shoulders,” said Kubilius. “We don’t know what Americans will decide.”
Kubilius insisted that Europe should not only fund its defense, but should also build it. He said that the European Union has reduced its dependence on American-made weapons by 60% by 60% of the total imports, and is expected to further reduce the dependence through an increase in domestic production.

As the Defense Commissioner, Kubilius has been tasked to implement a structure of $ 840 billion for “re -handling Europe”, including € 150 billion loan facility available to member states for building its armed forces and industrial capabilities.
Separately, at the previous month’s summit in Washington, NATO leaders agreed to a comprehensive pledge to increase defense spending – a historic change in the alliance posture amidst global volatility, increasing the benchmark of 2% to 5% of GDP for member countries.
Connecting a sense of urgency, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would offer advanced arms systems to Ukraine – on condition that European partners cover the cost. Western defense ministers on Monday convened to discuss the proposed funding system.
“We are sending patriots to NATO and then NATO will distribute it,” Trump said last week, referring to high-value air defense systems Joe Keev has long sought.

Kubilius refused to expand which other weapons could be included in the package, but underlined the significant importance of maintaining unwavering support to protect Ukraine against Russia’s full scale invasion.
“China is watching,” he said. “China will be able to draw a conclusion that if the West is weak in Ukraine, we can expect aggressive behavior from China against anyone.”
