Abstract
La Unión Europea (UE) ha ofrecido una respuesta significativa ante la guerra en Ucrania. Especialmente, destaca su apoyo a Kíev a través de medidas que nacen en el marco la Política Común de Seguridad y Defensa (PCSD), sobre todo en el ámbito de la defensa. Resulta relevante el respaldo dado al Ejército ucraniano a través del Fondo Europeo de Apoyo a la Paz (FEAP); de las denominadas leyes de apoyo a la producción de municiones y de adquisición común (conocidas, respectivamente, por sus siglas en inglés ASAP y EDIRPA), o la puesta en marcha de la misión militar EUMAM Ucrania. Estas últimas iniciativas muestran cómo, a la luz de la agresión rusa contra Ucrania, la PCSD presenta un desarrollo inédito –aunque aún parcial– que permite a la UE avanzar hacia la superación de su tradicional condición de small power.
There has been a significant response to the war in Ukraine on the part of the European Union (EU). Particularly noteworthy is its support for Kyiv via measures in the framework of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and especially in the defence field. It has provided substantial assistance to the Ukrainian Armed Forces through the European Peace Facility (EPF); the Act in Support of Ammunition Production (ASAP) and the EDIRPA common procurement instrument; and its military assistance mission (EUMAM Ukraine). These initiatives show how, in the wake of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine, the CSDP has made unprecedented, yet still only partial steps to allow the EU to progress towards moving beyond its traditional status as a small power.
