Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has ruled out the possibility of European nations forming a unified army, despite growing security concerns over Russian threats.
His remarks came in an interview with Polish state television aired late on Saturday.
The statement follows a proposal by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who called for the creation of a European army, arguing that Europe can no longer rely solely on US protection and would only gain Washington’s respect through military strength.
When asked about the possibility of a pan-European military force, Sikorski cautioned against misinterpretation of the term.
He clarified that while he supports strengthening Europe's defense capabilities, the idea of merging national armies into a single force is unrealistic.
He emphasized that the European Union is currently working on establishing an enhanced military brigade, but this does not equate to the creation of a unified European army.
