Chairman of the defense committee of the Danish parliament Folketing, Rasmus Jarlov, in an interview with Sky News, gave his view on what will happen and how Ukraine and Europe can return to talks with US President Donald Trump.
"I am very sure that President Zelensky would be willing to run naked through New York City if that were required of him to get security, safety guarantees, and save his country."
"It can't be about emotions and personal egos and who is humble enough and who said thank you enough. It has to be about what is right and fair and what is in the interest of the Western world ," he said.
The Danish official further said that the US administration has been deceived by a false narrative that Zelensky is a bad guy trying to exploit the US and that Europe is the bad people.
But he warned that any peace agreement without security guarantees for Ukraine is not even worth the paper it is written on as Russian leaders regularly break their promises, break their treaties, break agreements.
" It seems that Russia already thinks they are at war with the West. ... If you think that way, then you will attack again. And they will attack the Baltic states, probably as the first target."
"We simply cannot have a situation where it is not made clear to the Russians that if they do not stop their war, they will be stopped by force ," he said.
He then called out several European countries that are not paying enough in their defense spending and are not doing their part.
" There is no comparison between the economies of Europe and Russia. It is 15 times bigger. So if Europe steps up and helps Ukraine, there will be only one result, and that will be a victory for Ukraine."
But if we hesitate, as we have been so far, then the Americans will stop helping because they think it is too expensive, and then Ukraine will lose, and that will be a very, very bad outcome for Europe.
"European leaders need to stop talking, they need to stop tweeting, and they need to start paying and they need to send weapons to Ukraine now ," he concluded.
