European Defence
Dr Karin von Hippel, RUSI's Director-General said: "Europeans throw a lot of ideas out there. Most of them aren’t very realistic. I don’t know what the Europeans can do right now. They just don’t have the capacity to do a lot more in a substantial way militarily. It’s going to be difficult to provide any sort of guarantees to Ukraine. I wouldn’t worry about Nato right now because I’m not sure Trump would defend another country if they got invaded, another smaller Nato country. So I don’t know if Nato’s guarantees would matter right now either. So it puts Ukraine in a difficult position, really, because they do wanna end the war. But what can they do to prevent that from happening again, to prevent them from coming back?"
