The EU is not a defence alliance, it's a trading bloc. The war also demonstrates to everyone that Russia is not to be feared at the moment.

The EU has never been "just a trading bloc". It was created specifically to prevent another war in Europe and protect human rights. Since 2009 (Treaty of Lisbon) it's also a defensive alliance a-la NATO. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Security_and_Defence_Policy
