– Today, Europe lacks imagination and courage. Europe must understand its strength, and I will also speak about this in London, based on the data recently presented by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which is one of the most reputable institutes assessing military capabilities – stated Prime Minister Tusk during a press conference before departing for London.

Regarding professional soldiers, Europe, including Ukraine because we are on the same side, has 2.6 million. America has 1.3 million. China has 2 million, and Russia has 1.1 million. Europe has an advantage over everyone here, and Russia doesn't even compare. Fighter jets capable of operations: Europe with Ukraine has 2091, the USA has 1456, China has 1409, and Russia has 1224. Europe, together with Ukraine, has almost twice as many combat aircraft as Russia. Various types of artillery and weaponry, including Ukraine: 14,400. The USA has 5,000. China has 9,500. Russia has 5157. There is nothing to compare here; the deficit is the inability to understand that Europe has the potential to be a global power – he continued.
