Ukraine Wants West to Fund 800,000-Strong Army for 10 Years After War
Verified: 2 outlets have reported this story since Nov 11, 2 of them from Ukraine.
Ukraine is seeking long-term Western funding to maintain an 800,000-strong army after the war to deter future Russian aggression. The proposal contrasts sharply with Moscow’s demands to limit Ukraine’s military, including a 2022 proposal to cap its forces at 85,000 troops. Trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi are also addressing NATO-style security guarantees and Europe’s future security architecture.
