00:00Europe is not giving up on its support to Ukraine. That is according to European Council
00:06President Antonio Costa, who spoke at the Munich Security Conference.
00:13His statement mirrored that of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who said they would support Ukraine
00:17for as long as necessary.
00:21The comprehensive peace cannot be a simple ceasefire. It cannot give Russia the opportunity
00:29to attack ever again. It cannot reward the aggressor. It must guarantee that Russia
00:39will no longer be a threat to Ukraine, to Europe, to its neighbors.
00:48Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that the U.S. may no longer offer Europe protection
00:53should they be under threat, and urged for the creation of a European army.
00:59According to the Polish Foreign Minister, a European defense meeting could take place
01:03in Paris on Monday. However, no details have yet been confirmed.
