Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the creation of a unified “armed forces of Europe”, arguing that the war between Ukraine and Russia has laid the groundwork for such a force.
He emphasized that this proposal is not intended to replace NATO, but rather to ensure that Europe plays an equal role alongside the US in transatlantic security, and warned that Europe must prepare for the possibility that America “might say no to Europe on issues that threaten it”.
