Europe should speed up its own security improvement and arming of Ukraine, — Kira Rudik

Although Europe has begun to understand that in the matter of security, it is worth counting on itself and its continent, the implementation of already adopted decisions should be significantly accelerated.  Ukrainian MP and «Golos» party leader Kira Rudik thinks so. «The first priority in the issue of leadership in ending the war is not only the political statements of our European partners, but also their steps to arm themselves and the additional arming of Ukraine. We are convinced that Europe is ready to move from relying on the United States in security matters to producing its own weapons and increasing its defense independently», — the MP elaborates. According to Kira Rudik, since these processes are not proceeding as quickly as the situation requires, the task of Ukrainian diplomacy is to speed them up.  «We understand that even decisions made now may only be implemented within the next few years. So we are working with European partners to speed up these processes. In times of geopolitical instability, our hope is the European continent», — the politician emphasizes.
