US Edition'Europe still hasn't gotten its act together when it comes to Ukraine'
- On Wednesday, ahead of a summit, President Zelensky's senior aide, 45-year-old Zhovkva, was scheduled to meet with Macron at the Elysee Palace for bilateral talks regarding European troop contributions to Ukraine.
- Kyiv anticipated a robust and serious contribution from Europe, expecting soldiers ready for combat scenarios involving missile or drone attacks, but Ukrainian authorities understood that there will be no international troops on the contact line.
- Zhovkva emphasized that Ukraine does not need peacekeepers or a mere symbolic presence in locations like Lviv, which is far from the front lines, but rather a substantial number of troops prepared for real combat.
- Zhovkva stated that Ukraine doesn't need 'just 5,000 or 10,000' troops and that 'every soldier has to be ready to be engaged in the real combat'.
- To free up Ukrainian troops for deployment to more dangerous areas, Zhovkva suggested that European forces could assist in securing Ukraine's border with Belarus, demonstrating a readiness to fight, defend, be equipped, and understand Ukraine's integral role in European security.
