EU Commissioner Kubilius: We must do everything we can to avoid a loud and chaotic divorce from the US
Europe should not depend on the US in its confrontation with Russia, it is time to get back on its feet. However, it would be dangerous to quarrel with Washington.
The European Commissioner for Defence and Space, former Prime Minister of Lithuania Andrius Kubilius, announced this at the European Forum in Brussels, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"European defense must be the responsibility of Europeans. In the coming years, China's growing military might will cause our American partners to shift resources from Europe to the Indo-Pacific. It is time for Europe to stand on its own feet.
450 million EU citizens should not have to depend on 240 million Americans to protect themselves from 140 million Russians who cannot defeat 38 million Ukrainians.
We can do better. We need to have a rational discussion with our American partners about how to divide the responsibilities and avoid a loud and chaotic divorce, which we do not want,” Kubilius said.
