The EU announced the need for its own defense policy after the events in Afghanistan

"I insist that the need of the European Union for its own defense system became apparent after Afghanistan," Borrel quoted TASS as saying.

He clarified that "the historical events in Afghanistan prompted the development of a European security concept" Strategic Compass of the EU ", the final draft of which will be presented in October-November."

Earlier, the EU Council said that the European Union will not allow the emergence of mass migration from Afghanistan to Europe.
