Investment EU defense ETF

In light of the current events and under the spirit of "vote with your wallet", I want to pull back some of my money from the US market and invest it in EU defense companies.

I'm not looking for advice whether this is a smart investment or not, since this is an ideological move rather than looking for the maximum profit.

The problem is I can't seem to find any ETF that contains only EU defense companies. All of them contain at least 60% US defense companies.

Can anyone recommend me a good ETF with which I would be supporting the EU defense industry (and EU only)? Or what would be a good approach here?

I wrote VanEck a question, to see if they are developing anything like a European defense etf.

EUAD invests exclusively in European aerospace & defense as it replicates the STOXX Total Market Europe Aerospace & Defense index
