The EU's top defense official, Andrius Kubilius, said Thursday that a Russian bombing attack on a European weapons factory should trigger NATO's Article 5 mutual defense clause. His comments underline growing pressure in Europe to treat strikes on member states' defense industry as attacks on the alliance itself, raising the stakes of Moscow's campaign against Ukraine's Western backers.

Why now: Calls to invoke NATO's Article 5 over a Russian strike on EU soil would mark a major escalation in the alliance's response to the war.
