The simplest way would be if the Council does to avoid 'EU integration' debate (although has to be qual majority vote, not unanimity). Technically speaking, state leaders will be sending the 'Brussels army' to conflict zones and not, say, 'Hungarian soldiers', which is politically easier to accept.

Victoria Nuland, if I recall, had some choice words for Brussels when the EU dithered in 2014. Now might be the time for Europe to return the sentiment.
