As Kuleba pointed out, although Ukraine has never asked for "European combat troops on the ground," EU leaders need to get used to the idea that "this day may come."
"I understand perfectly well that Europeans are not used to the idea of war. But this is a carelessness that Europeans simply cannot afford - neither for themselves nor for their children," Kuleba said.
He also added: "Ukraine can win. But if Ukraine loses, Putin will not stop."
