‘Battle hardened’ Ukraine has role to play in defending Europe, says ex-Nato chief
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, a former Nato secretary general, states that Ukraine is 'militarily the strongest in Europe' and advocates for a European coalition including Ukraine to defend the continent if the US reduces troop presence. A coalition of 45 states is proposed as a reassurance and training force in Ukraine should a peace settlement with Russia occur.
