Ursula von der Leyen: Current Role and Influence (2026)
Ukraine Defense Support
The Commission under von der Leyen has prioritized defense industry support for Ukraine, disbursing 1.24 billion euros to boost Ukraine's defence capabilities. This allocation demonstrates continued EU commitment to military assistance as Russia's war continues.

EU auditors have warned that European debt could reach 1 trillion euros by 2027. Von der Leyen's leadership faces mounting pressure to balance continued support for Ukraine and member states while managing the bloc's long term debt sustainability. These fiscal constraints will define her remaining term priorities.
