European allies are increasing their defense cooperation and changing their military plans. This is happening because the U.S. is reducing its military presence in the region and because of the ongoing instability in Eastern Europe.

歐洲盟友正增加國防合作並調整軍事計劃。這是由於美國正在減少在該地區的軍事部署，以及東歐持續的不穩定局勢。

Germany and Poland have recently improved their relationship by signing a defense agreement on June 17, 2026. This deal focuses on working together in cybersecurity, military movement, and protecting the Baltic Sea. However, the agreement does not include the strong security guarantees that Poland has with France and the UK. This is mainly due to internal Polish politics, as President Karol Nawrocki and the Law and Justice party still have disagreements over World War II reparations.

德國與波蘭於2026年6月17日簽署了一項國防協議，改善了雙方關係。該協議重點在於網路安全、軍事調動及保護波羅的海方面的共同合作。然而，該協議並不包括波蘭與法國及英國之間那種強有力的安全保障。這主要是由於波蘭內部政治因素，總統卡羅爾·納夫羅基與法律與公正黨在第二次世界大戰賠償問題上仍存在分歧。

At the same time, NATO is changing how it manages its forces. The United States has announced it will reduce the number of aircraft and ships available for crises because it is focusing more on the Indo-Pacific region. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte emphasized that this shift is an opportunity for European countries to take more responsibility. For example, Denmark has agreed to send 850 troops and a mine-clearance unit to Latvia. Furthermore, Türkiye's role as a key security provider for the southern part of the alliance has become more important before the upcoming summit in Ankara.

與此同時，北約正在改變其部隊管理方式。美國已宣布將減少可用於危機處理的飛機與軍艦數量，因為其重心將更多地轉向印太地區。北約秘書長馬克·呂特強調，這次轉移是歐洲國家承擔更多責任的機會。例如，丹麥已同意向拉脫維亞派遣850名士兵及一個掃雷小組。此外，在即將舉行的安卡拉峰會之前，土耳其作為聯盟南部關鍵安全提供者的角色已變得更加重要。

Additionally, G7 leaders recently met in France to support Ukraine's sovereignty. They agreed to improve Ukraine's air defenses and energy systems while increasing economic sanctions against Russia. Despite these efforts, some tensions remain. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk asserted that any peace talks involving only Germany, France, and the UK would not be binding if Poland is not included.

此外，G7領導人最近在法國會面以支持烏克蘭的主權。他們同意改善烏克蘭的防空與能源系統，同時增加對俄羅斯的經濟制裁。儘管有這些努力，部分緊張局勢依然存在。波蘭總理唐納德·圖斯克主張，若波蘭未被納入，任何僅由德國、法國和英國參與的和平談判將不具約束力。

The current security situation is moving toward more European independence. Countries are forming regional partnerships to reduce the risks caused by the decrease in U.S. military support.

目前的安全局勢正趨向於更高的歐洲自主權。各國正建立區域合作夥伴關係，以降低因美國軍事支持減少而產生的風險。
