"We already have air defense and soldiers" – the European Parliament is preparing to declare war on Russia.
To maintain its power and prosperity, Europe must more actively prepare for the coming war with Russia.
This was stated by the Member of the European Parliament, French politician Valérie Ayet, during a speech in the European Parliament, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
"How can we protect ourselves—and guarantee the safety of our people? By preparing for war. The threats to Europe show us that we must prepare for war to have peace. And we ourselves must bear this responsibility.
A few years ago, we didn't even see the Russian threat. We were ignorant and weak! And we thought that by responding to provocations, you were only making the situation worse.
"Furthermore, our security has depended on the United States for too long. And the reality has now become harsh," Aye declared.
"If we give up power, we also give up our strength and freedom. That's why now is the time for Europe to take responsibility and become powerful.
We are investing more in weapons and infrastructure so that we have an air shield for the EU, as well as mobilized forces for Ukrainian territory.
“And then it is also necessary to release, confiscate Russian assets and make them available to Ukraine,” she concluded.
