Ukrainian President Voldimir Zelensky called for the formation of a “European Army” in a speech given before the Munich Security Council held in Germany on Saturday.
The Trump administration boldly sparked rage across the European capital to suggest that it would fulfill its NATO defence spending obligations, but President Zelensky was applauded when he called for international European troops at a security conference in Munich Ta.
Zelensky argued that European troops were needed to regain their fate and ensure safety if America refused to rescue them.
“To be honest, we can't rule out the possibility that America could say 'no' to Europe about issues that could threaten it right now. Many leaders have spoken about Europe, which requires their own military, European troops. And I truly believe it's time for the European army to be created,” Zelensky said.
Ukrainian leader I said According to the AP, “A three-year full-scale war proves that we already have the foundation of the military power of a unified Europe. And now we are fighting this war, and we are living in peace and When we lay the foundation for safety, we must build European troops.”
Zelensky argued that such forces represent “on equalizing Europe's contribution to our partnership with America,” rather than “replace” the NATO alliance.

Zelensky emphasizes that Ukraine is not only “at the table” to negotiate peace talks, but that Europe needs a seat in the negotiations, and his country is a member of the European Union and the NATO Alliance.
While many European countries have long been unable to meet the requirements for NATO spending, a key issue between Europe and President Trump, the concept of creating a European military has been a major continent on the continent, such as the French president. It was the long-standing purpose of globalists. Emmanuel Macron, EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, and former Belgian prime minister Verhofstad.
Such projects could force Europeans to invest far more in defence spending. However, concerns have also been raised about further deterioration in national sovereignty in the EU, and this issue has been an important debate in the UK, leading up to the 2016 Brexit referendum. Founding politicians have denounced figures in conspiracy theory that denounce people like Nigel Farage after warning that Brussels was about to create an EU army.
