BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission on Thursday proposed two action plans to address the "deteriorating security environment" following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to bolster cyber defence and to allow armed forces to move faster and better across borders.

"Cyberspace has no borders," the European Union's executive said in a statement. "Recent cyber-attacks on energy networks, transport infrastructure and space assets show the risks that they pose to both civilian and military actors."
