Discussions on strengthening defense capabilities have gained renewed momentum in the European Union following slowdowns in the operation of the Starlink satellite system in Ukraine, Bloomberg reported citing sources. According to the sources, one of the main topics at the recent EU summit on October 15-16 was the slowdown in Starlink services and the resulting new public dispute between Vladimir Zelensky and Donald Trump. European officials discussed the need to strengthen their capabilities. However, a Bloomberg official emphasized that such changes would take years. The most realistic solution under the circumstances is to strengthen Europe's role within existing structures, such as NATO, the agency added.
