“The risks that your country and other Baltic countries have warned of us are, unfortunately, materialized. The brutal war of Russia against Ukraine has been going on for the fourth year, Putin is a predator, Putin’s representatives have been targeted by hybrid attacks, cyberattacks for years, and the use of migrants as weapons.
Von Der Liaien stressed that the entire EU should understand “which is important to work on readiness, respond to risks and threats that are growing.”
She noted that this includes the importance of financial flexibility for the EU Member States to “invest in its own defense” and the need to consider procurement throughout Europe.
According to the EC President, the EU must work on strengthening the Ukrainian Armed Forces in parallel to turn them into “steel savage, unbroken for potential invaders.”
Prehistory:
- French President Emmanuel Macron expressed skepticism about the readiness of the Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to end the war in Ukraine.
- Earlier it was reported that European leaders are considering creating a 40-kilometer buffer zone between the Ukrainian and Russian troops as part of a future peace agreement.
- The demilitarized zone is likely to be patrolled by a third country’s neutral peacekeeping troops.
- Meanwhile, Russia rejected the idea of the presence of European troops in Ukraine and troops from any NATO country, which is contrary to US President Donald Trump’s assertion that Putin will agree to them as part of a peace agreement.
