The foreign minister of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, said that a united European army “will not happen.”
“If you understand by … the unification of national armies, it will not happen,” Sikorski said. “But I have been an advocate for Europe, for the European Union, to develop its own defense capabilities.”
“And we are actually in the process of forming a reinforced brigade,” he added. “That’s not enough to deter Putin, but it’s enough to perhaps sort out some warlord in Libya.”
The TVP World comments by Sikorski came in a Saturday YouTube video.
Last Wednesday, President Trump said he expects to meet face-to-face with Russian President Vladimir Putin multiple times, with the president implying that they will probably first meet in Saudi Arabia.
“We ultimately expect to meet,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “In fact, we expect that he’ll come here, and I’ll go there, and we’re going to meet also, probably in Saudi Arabia. The first time we’ll meet in Saudi Arabia.”
NewsNation reported Saturday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz and Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff were also probably meeting high-level Russian officials soon in Saudi Arabia to discuss ending the war in Ukraine.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky previously said that Ukraine has not received an invitation to any Saudi Arabia meeting between officials from Trump and Russia.
“It is strange to hold a meeting in such format before we had consultations with our strategic partners,” Zelensky said Saturday to reporters in Munich.
