 London (AFP) Mar 2, 2025

European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen warned on Sunday that "we urgently have to rearm Europe" as leaders from the continent met in London for crisis talks over Ukraine.

Von der Leyen said she would present a "comprehensive plan" at an EU summit on Thursday, adding that "we have to have a surge in defence" and "step up massively".

"It's now of utmost importance we increase spending ... it's important we prepare for the worst," she added.

The leaders had a "good and frank discussion" and talked about the need for security guarantees, said the EU chief.

"It's in our common interest that we prevent future wars," she added.
