Ukraine will need a million army to defense from the Russian Federation - Zelensky

During the conversation, the Head of State spoke about the necessary defensive capacities of Ukraine in the event that Russia will collect a million army for attack. According to Zelensky, then we will need a million army in defense. "We will need a million in defense if Putin comes with a million and a half," the President said. At the same time, Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted that such a large army will be necessary for Ukraine until the state is included in the security alliance.

Then, with security guarantees and reliable allies, there will be no need for such defense. At the same time, the Head of State expressed the understanding that such a powerful army would need a lot of money. However, the President is aware that the Ukrainian budget will not be able to provide it. "Who will feed the million army? If Europe says that Ukraine is protecting not only itself but also the values ​​of Europe, logically, then all support this army: weapons, military, their lives, etc.

For the budget of Ukraine will not be on the million army - us - us He is simply not enough, "said Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Also, in a conversation, the President mentioned the frozen Russian assets: according to him, 250 billion, which is now, can provide Ukraine in order to provide the army until the state is included in some security alliance.

Speaking of the Security Alliance, Volodymyr Zelenskyy referred to NATO first of all, about the membership of Ukraine in which there are differences between the states. "Otherwise, we will have to pay this army from the budgets of the United States, or from the budgets of European colleagues," the President explained. According to Zelensky, NATO is a compromise, available security guarantees for both Ukraine and all of Europe, America, etc.

Focus recorded the main theses during the speech on January 21.
