Zelensky: Russia can occupy Europe
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky warns about the possible occupation of Europe by Russia. According to him, the ratio of the Russian army to the European combat component is three to one. He emphasizes that without Ukraine, Europe will be under Russian occupation.
'I would like us to be on the ground and not flying somewhere in the clouds. To be in reality,' he said.
Zelensky notes that the Ukrainian army, which currently has 110 combat brigades, is holding back the Russian army with 220 brigades, and this number may increase to 250 by 2025.
'The Ukrainian army consists of 110 combat brigades, which is a lot. This is a very serious army. With Russia - 220. And the Russians will approach 250 brigades already in 2025. Therefore, the enemy has a numerical advantage of two to one. The European combat component (taking into account American troops), according to calculations by Ukraine together with NATO, consists of 82 combat brigades. Although the figures are approximate, they are close to reality... To conduct an offensive, troops must outnumber the enemy at least three to one. Only then will there be a successful offensive and progress,' the president said.
Zelensky emphasizes that without taking Ukraine into account, Russia has a threefold advantage over Europe. And this is obvious.
'Without Ukraine, Europe will be occupied. Completely. By the Russians. If they want it. I believe they have no other option. They will want this,' he added.
Recall that Zelensky explained the importance of the 'rare earth' agreement with Trump.
