The US must understand the formula 'peace through strength' and support Ukraine - Kubilius.

The European Commission supports strengthening Ukraine

European Commissioner for Defense and Space Andrius Kubilius stated that the administrations of Donald Trump and Europeans need to understand that the formula 'peace through strength' is the most effective way to stop the war. He emphasized that strengthening Ukraine is important in this context.

'For me personally, it is very clear that Putin does not want a ceasefire, he does not want peace. Probably, the US administration has also started to understand that Putin wants to continue the war because he feels like a winner in this war. The formula 'peace through strength', which has been supported by the US administration and Europeans, requires, first and foremost, strengthening Ukraine'

According to Kubilius, Ukrainians are already using all their resources to defend against Russian aggression. Therefore, they can receive additional help from their partners, including the European Union and the United States.
