This was stated in an interview with Ukrinform by European Parliament member Andrius Kubilius, who has been nominated for the position of European Commissioner for Defense and Space in the new European Commission.
"We need to think. We can discuss all these issues. However, we should likely consider both the short-term and long-term perspectives. When I talk about the short-term perspective, I mean conventional deterrence measures, strengthening our conventional forces, ground troops, air defense systems, and so on. But in the long term, we must explore all possibilities and needs. Clearly, this takes time, and we should not seek any revolutionary solutions here," Kubilius emphasized.
