“Europe must become self-sufficient, united before common challenges. Now, with the support of the Ukrainian army, they can halt Russia, but if it wasn't for us, who would halt them?

And I firmly believe that this is the time to do so,” said Volodymyr Zelenski erstwhile he spoke in Munich.

How did Radosław Sikorski respond to the proposal?

Radosław Sikorski in an interview with TVP planet said that 1 should be careful with the word "European army" due to the fact that people realize them differently.

— If this means uniting national armies, it will not happen," he said. “But I was a advocate for Europe, the European Union, to make its own defence capabilities,” he added.

— If the US wants us to strengthen the defence, it should be a national component, a NATO component, but I am besides reasoning about the European EU component, EU subsidies for the arms manufacture in order to increase our production capacity, but besides the EU forces worthy of their name,” said the Head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs of Poland.

Sikorski stated that the presence of Polish troops in Ukraine was not an option, “because Poland's work to NATO is to defend its east flank, or its own territory”.
