European Green Party Politician Anton Hofreiter has expressed disappointment over the outcome of the Paris summit on Ukraine and has called for massive investments in European defense.
“What the European leadership needs now is a large investment offensive, with which the Ukraine can be supported even more and the defense capability of the EU can be improved promptly and efficiently” Hofreiter said to the Funke Media Group newspapers. “This requires a 500 billion-euro defense fund for supporting Ukraine and for joint armament procurement in the EU. Only this way can we prevent further war in Europe.”
The Paris summit, unfortunately, has brought little results, criticized the Chairman of the European Affairs Committee in the German Bundestag. The big speeches on strength and unity have not been followed by concrete steps.
