Schmygal issued a serious warning for Europe

Europe should recognise the "new reality" and take responsibility for its own security, Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmygal said at the Washington Security Forum in Aspen. This is reported by Axios.

After decades of inaction, indecision is a luxury that Europe can no longer afford," he emphasised.

According to Schmygal, Russia has fully mobilised its military machine and is now testing not only Ukraine, but the whole of Europe along with the West.

We live in the era of transition from one world order to another. Such moments happen once every 30-50 years and never go smoothly," he said.

As Axios writes, the discussion about rearming Europe in 2025 has intensified dramatically. Among the key themes:

• increased investment in defence technology, including the Helsing plant in Germany and the launch of the CA-1 Europa drone;

• a renewed debate on nuclear weapons in France, Poland and elsewhere;

• new NATO agreements on increased defence spending and critical infrastructure protection;

• the Trump administration's updated national security strategy, which has been welcomed in Moscow.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned that Alliance countries could become Russia's next target, emphasising the need for urgent measures to prevent a new major war.
