Summary
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Europe that it cannot withstand Russia without Ukraine’s military, calling Ukraine’s victory vital to stopping Kremlin expansion.
Speaking to Polish media, Zelenskyy stressed that Russia’s larger, more brutal army would target other European nations if Ukraine falls.
He criticized Western allies for underestimating Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ambitions, urging them to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses.
Europe’s population is ~744m.
EU’s population is ~450m. Not Europe’s.
However you’d also have to account for the population of all NATO countries, minus potentially the US, were it to come to a conflict against its members.
How many are in the age range for the draft? It’s not just total population, you can only really count those that are in the age range for army service.
Yes I meant EU. Which I think was what Zelensky meant. Russia is part of Europe the continent anyways.
