French and Polish perspectives on EU security as examples of the interests of two regions of the European Union

France and Poland represent two distinct approaches to EU security, shaped by their unique geopolitical interests.

Poland, on the EU's eastern flank, prioritizes regional security, countering Russian influence through initiatives like the Visegrad Group. The war in Ukraine has brought these perspectives closer and highlighted the need for a unified European security strategy.
