President of Finland: There is not a single army in Europe or even in the US capable of waging war like the Ukrainian army
Europe should talk not about what Ukraine wants from it, but about how Ukraine can help Europe, stated Finnish President Alexander Stubb at a joint press conference with Czech President Petr Pavel in Prague.

"There is not a single army in Europe or the United States, by the way, that is capable of waging modern war the way Ukraine is doing it now," Alexander Stubb said.
According to him, Europe needs to talk not about what Ukraine wants from it, but about how Ukraine can help Europe. He emphasized that Ukraine will remain a European state even after the war, and Russia will remain the greatest threat to European security.
"If I had only one message today, then instead of talking about what Ukraine needs from Europe, perhaps we should start thinking about what we in Europe need from Ukraine... We in Europe must get rid of the idea that only we are helping Ukraine," emphasized the Finnish President.
Stubb noted that from the very beginning he was a supporter of Ukraine's membership in the European Union and NATO. He added that there are currently approximately 2 million military personnel in Europe, 1.3 million in Russia, and 800 thousand in Ukraine.
