France has released its National Strategic Review 2025, outlining a comprehensive defense strategy in response to rising geopolitical threats. The document explicitly identifies Russia as the most direct threat to France, its allies, and Europe, mentioning Russia over 80 times. It warns of the potential for a large-scale, high-intensity war in Europe by 2030. In preparation, France plans to increase defense budgets to accelerate rearmament and enhance national resilience. The review also proposes a renovated voluntary military service to provide military training to French adults. Additionally, France published its first-ever defense strategy for the Arctic, recognizing the region as an emerging global geopolitical flashpoint. The government calls for full mobilization of state and society to address these challenges and ensure readiness for potential conflicts.
