An EU fund to help troops move quickly is too small and poorly managed, auditors say

A European Union fund for troop deployment is criticized as being too small and poorly managed, according to auditors.
The fund of 1.7 billion euros is deemed insufficient compared to 300 billion euros spent on defense last year, as stated by Tony Murphy.
Auditors noted that projects were selected without a clear strategy and that there was no single contact point for military mobility.
The European Commission defended its actions, stating it responded quickly to support Ukraine, and pledged to improve coordination.
