DEBATE: Europe Must Be Strong and Independent 🇪🇺⚡ | Von der Leyen & Starmer Face a World in Disarray

Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/EudebatesTvLI... At the Munich Security Conference 2026, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer sit down for a high-stakes debate moderated by Christiane Amanpour. The central message from the discussion: Europe must become stronger, more independent, and more capable — not to abandon allies, but to become a stronger partner within NATO and the transatlantic alliance. Key moments from the transcript: Von der Leyen calls for a strong and independent Europe, able to act without constantly leaning on others. Starmer warns against complacency, saying Europe has not invested enough in its own defence and security. Both leaders stress that strengthening Europe is essential to preserving NATO for the next decades. On Ukraine, they reject Russian narratives and reaffirm that Russia is the aggressor — and that peace must come with real security guarantees. Von der Leyen highlights digital sovereignty and economic resilience as new red lines for Europe. From defence funding to sovereignty, from Arctic security to transatlantic cooperation, the debate captures a Europe redefining its role in a rapidly shifting global order. Stay connected with us!
