Zelenskyy Advocates for Europe's Unified Military Force

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called for the establishment of a unified 'armed forces of Europe', citing his country's ongoing conflict with Russia as a proving ground. He expressed concerns that reliance on U.S. military support could falter, emphasizing the need for European defence cooperation.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy emphasized the necessity of forming a unified European military force during his speech at the Munich Security Conference on Saturday. He highlighted that Ukraine's ongoing struggle against Russian aggression demonstrates the continent's need for independent defense capabilities.

Zelenskyy expressed concerns about Europe's over-reliance on American military support, suggesting that there may come a time when the United States could refuse to provide assistance against looming threats.

The Ukrainian leader's proposition, he hopes, will solidify long-standing discussions among European leaders about regional defense, urging them to invest in the creation of an 'armed forces of Europe'.
