Europe actually has a significant defense capability. More trained soldiers than the US or Russia. Arms r&d, lots of aircraft, ship building etc. It doesn't spend as much as the US and only a couple of European countries have projection, namely France and the UK, and not that much at that. But the idea that Europe as a whole would be unable to defend itself against Russia's conventional military is pretty much just hawkish propaganda.
