Answering media questions, Zelenskyy noted: European countries should have united armed forces. At the same time, this does not mean that one should compete with America.
Europe is simply a separate continent that should have its own separate strong army. This does not mean that NATO can or should be destroyed. By no means. It is about, separately, the Armed Forces of Europe. And this is not only about an army that, in my opinion, should consist of at least three million people, but also about the fact that it is also an exchange of technologies, which are very important.
He added that Ukraine, having unique experience of war with Russia, shares its technologies with partners and allies.
They give us, for example, intelligence, France gives intelligence, other countries. And we give our interceptors, what has already been tested by wartime, by wartime. And we give other technologies, also other weapons, how it works. Honestly, without our experience, during the war some countries did not even really know how their weapons work. We help them a lot. Therefore, it is not only the army, it is also the exchange of technologies. It is not only a warehouse in Ukraine regarding weapons, it is warehouses all over Europe, it is the correct security differentiation of both warehouse technologies, and weapons, and air defense, and much more.
