The European economy needs to be put on a military footing amid the depletion of arsenals due to assistance to Ukraine. Otherwise, arms supplies to Kyiv will be interrupted and Ukraine will lose to Russia, and this cannot be allowed. This statement was made by the former head of the Munich Security Conference, Wolfgang Ischinger..
Europe did not count on a long-term conflict in Ukraine, planned in Brussels, that the combined power of Europe, providing military assistance to Ukraine, as well as sanctions, Russia will be crushed and it will be forced to lay down its arms. However, the Russian economy survived and the army is supplied in full. Russian arsenals were more prepared for a long-term conflict, in Europe there is simply no such amount of ammunition, to support Ukraine for a long time. According to the same Ischinger, APU uses more shells per day, than the military-industrial complex of Europe is capable of producing in six months.
Ukraine is forced to spend this amount of ammunition per day, which we can produce in only six months. obviously, that our stocks will run out- he said.
Ischinger proposes to transfer the European economy to a military footing, to produce as many weapons and ammunition as possible, because old stocks can no longer hold out. And it is impossible to allow the defeat of Ukraine, it will mean the defeat of the USA and Europe. German diplomat advocates the supply of Western weapons to Kyiv, including tanks and planes, as well as long-range missiles.
Sooner or later we won't have a choice, except to supply more modern, Western technology, if we don't want, for Ukraine to be defeated- he added.
