President Vladimir Zelensky commented on to reporters during the Munich conference on February 15, as his proposal was perceived in the EU to create a 1.5 million contingent as one of the security guarantees for the European region to protect against a possible re -advance of Russia.

He noted that European leaders will consider this proposal and several consultations will be held on this topic.

" It can be a million or a million 300 thousand, we are talking about serious numbers. This is not 50, 100, not 200 thousand, not 300 thousand. Because this number of warriors will not be able to protect us from a probable re -onset. Everyone understands this. European leaders went to think. We will hold several consultations, realizing that there is a big question, money, opportunities, this is a lot of money, ”Zelensky noted.

He also added that the Union of America and the European Union is very important and it cannot be lost, since only Putin, North Korea or Iran benefit from this.

" This Union of the United States and Europe is very important.

It is clear why Europeans are afraid of certain statements, there were a lot of them from America, including the one that you are talking about, where it is definitely not about strengthening this union. Of course, this is the choice of the United States, the team today is more focused on internal matters. But I believe that this union cannot be lost, because only Putin, North Korea, Iran will win, ”Zelensky explained.

He previously stated that it is now time to create the Armed Forces of Europe.
