Today, the Ukrainian army has 110 combat brigades, the Russian army has 220, and there are currently about 82 combat brigades in Europe. Therefore, without Ukraine, Europe will be totally occupied.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in an interview with The Guardian, Ukrinform reports.
“Today, the Ukrainian army consists of 110 combat brigades. This is a lot. Russia has 220 [brigades], and they will be approaching 250 in 2025. That is, their army is twice as large. The European combat component, taking into account the American component that is present there, is about 82 combat brigades,” Zelensky said.
He emphasized that today the Ukrainian army, which has 110 brigades, is holding back the army, which has 220 brigades, but it is one to two.
“If you want to attack, you need your army to be at least one to three. Then there will be an effective offensive and advancement. Without Ukraine, you will realize that Russia has one to three in relation to Europe. And it is very clear what is happening. That is, without Ukraine, Europe will be occupied. Totally occupied. “By the Russians. If they want to. And I believe that they have no other idea in their minds. They will want it,” the President emphasized.
As Ukrinform reported, earlier in an interview with the British broadcaster ITV News, Volodymyr Zelensky said that total sanctions against Russia and strong security guarantees for Ukraine are needed to end the war quickly.
