It is impossible without security guarantees. What are these security guarantees? NATO, strong weapons, missiles, nuclear weapons, some kind of deterrent package. Or we will build, as I said, we will build NATO in Ukraine. Then we will have a contingent of Europeans and Americans. The contingent will not be 5-7 thousand... I gave our military a task: please count and show me the points. We have drawn a map, and if necessary, we have everything ready, and I can talk about it in Munich. Not really, but we need 100 thousand people there, well, it's not about 5 thousand
