The European Commission will present a defence industrial strategy proposal in three weeks, commission president Ursula von der Leyen said on Saturday, and will also open a defence innovation office in Ukraine.

"Europe has to step up its industrial base...I'm a convinced transatlanticist and at the same time we have to build a strong Europe and that goes hand in hand," von der Leyen told a panel at the Munich Security Conference.
