# Ten countries, France, the UK, Germany, Ukraine, Denmark, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, and Sweden, have established the Integrated Anti-Ballistic Coalition, a shared protection programme for Europe against ballistic missiles. This comes as Ukraine is increasingly exposed to Russian ballistic missiles. The coalition says it recognises the growing threat posed by ballistic missiles and the increasing importance of defence capabilities for the security of the European continent. It says the protection of Europe requires a global solution of an integrated missile defence architecture to deter and defeat future missiles.
