Zelensky Scrambles to Keep War Alive, Calls for Creation of Globalist ‘European Armed Forces’

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, reacting to U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance’s recent remarks, called for the creation of a unified “European Armed Forces,” desperately pushing Europe to continue the Ukraine-Russia war.

Speaking before an audience of European leaders at the Munich Security Conference, Zelensky argued that the continent must take control of its own defense—especially if America’s support is no longer guaranteed.

While former President Trump’s calls for Europe to meet its NATO defense spending obligations have been met with resistance, Zelensky’s push for an independent European military was met with applause.

“Let’s be honest,” Zelensky said. “We can’t rule out the possibility that America might say ‘no’ to Europe on an issue that threatens it. Many leaders have spoken about the need for a European army, and I truly believe the time has come.”

According to the AP, Zelensky pointed to Ukraine’s war with Russia as proof that Europe already has the foundation for a united military force. He framed his proposal not as a replacement for NATO but as a way for Europe to contribute on equal footing with the U.S.

“A few days ago, President Trump told me about his conversation with Putin,” Zelensky noted. “Not once did he mention that America needs Europe at the table. That says a lot. The old days are over when America supported Europe just because it always had.”

Later, in an interview with CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, Zelensky revealed he had a “long” conversation with Trump about a potential peace deal with Russia. However, he emphasized that key details—especially security guarantees for Kyiv—still need to be worked out.

“The devil is in the details,” he said, making it clear that both Ukraine and Europe must have a seat at the table in any future negotiations. “We are in Europe,” he stressed, despite Ukraine’s absence from the EU and NATO.
