With Russia continuing to pummel Ukrainian cities with missile and drone strikes, a consensus has been reached among several nations.
Defense ministers of 14 NATO countries and Finland agreed to form a common air defense procurement and deployment alliance called the “European Sky Shield Initiative” (ESSI).

As per reports, the effort will be lead by Germany and will aim create a European air and missile defense system “through the common acquisition of air defense equipment and missiles by European nations,” NATO announced Thursday.
German Defense Minister Christine Lambrecht said during a ceremony at NATO's Brussels headquarters where 14 countries signed a letter of intent, according to Reuters.
"With this initiative, we are living up to our joint responsibility for security in Europe - by bundling our resources,"

Lambrecht said, according to Reuters,
"We need to fill these gaps quickly, we are living in threatening, dangerous times,"
Lambrecht said,
"No decision has been taken yet but I think it (Arrow 3) would be the right system,...that it would be a very good system for the challenge in Europe"
She added,
"We will work speedily on the first joint projects, the joint purchase of Patriot units is one of them as well as of the modern system IRIS-T,"

As per NATO media release, the initiative will allow all participating nations to jointly develop an air defense system using interoperable, off-the-shelf solutions.
It added, "This multinational and multifaceted approach offers a flexible and scalable way for nations to strengthen their deterrence and defense in an efficient and cost-effective way"

NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană during a press briefing after the signing ceremony said,
"ESSI aims to enable European allies to procure these much-needed capabilities better and faster, and to optimize their costs. It should also bring synergy among the allies with similar requirements, covering the full spectrum of the air and missile defense needs. It should promote interoperability and integration with each other and with NATO's integrated air and missile defense.”
