European Union defense ministers have discussed establishing an emergency consultation mechanism in response to growing hybrid threats from Russia, according to EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas . Politico reported that the proposal involves introducing an emergency security protocol, modeled on Article 4 of the NATO treaty. EU policy expert Petar Tanev told The Insider that the need for such a mechanism has emerged because of a rise in Russian provocations across Europe, adding that the EU requires its own “panic button.” Kallas said Russia has stepped up acts of sabotage within the EU, violated the bloc’s airspace, and carried out other provocations, demanding a swift EU response. She noted that at the September 28 meeting, EU defense ministers held their first in-depth discussion on launching a rapid consultation mechanism that would allow member states to coordinate responses to specific threats. Kallas said the emergency security protocol is intended to enable the EU to react more quickly to Russian hybrid attacks and supplement NATO’s existing procedures. Politico noted that European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has previously backed the introduction of such a protocol, describing it as “Europe's own version” of NATO’s Article 4. Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty allows any member to request immediate consultations with allies if its security is under threat. Kallas said the mechanism should apply to actions “below the threshold of armed aggression.” EU policy expert Petar Tanev told The Insider that amid rising hybrid threats from Russia, the EU needs an additional mechanism for rapid and coordinated responses, as the procedures available within NATO are no longer sufficient. Calls for a coordinated EU response to hybrid attacks intensified after an incident in Germany in early August, when a drone carrying a detonator was found near a Ukrainian cargo plane at Leipzig airport. Berlin accused Moscow of orchestrating the attack. In mid-September, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Russia was planning “hybrid” strikes using drones and missiles against countries supporting Ukraine—including Poland, which is a NATO member.
