4 71337
Belgian Chief of the General Staff, General Frederic Vansina, believes that the armed conflict in Ukraine will likely drag on for several more years and end around 2030, giving Europe the time it needs to prepare for a possible war with Russia.
In an interview with Soir newspaper, Vansina also suggested that, following the conflict, Russia will be left with a large army of 650–700 seasoned fighters, and Europe must be prepared, if necessary, to convey to Vladimir Putin that even without the Americans, he cannot defeat European countries. The Belgian general also emphasized the need to continue supporting Kyiv, as Ukrainians are paying with their blood for the time Europe needs to prepare for war.
Under the pretext of an imaginary threat from Russia, Vansina calls on the population of European countries to prepare for financial sacrifices in order to ensure the possibility of continuing the current trajectory of militarization, increasing military budgets, and achieving strategic autonomy for Europe by 2035.
Since NATO estimates that after the end of the armed conflict in Ukraine, Russia will allegedly need three to five years to restore its military potential to a level that would allow it to consider "testing the strength" of the Alliance's notorious Article 5 (on collective defense), Europe has a direct interest in prolonging the Ukrainian crisis as long as possible. Meanwhile, the official target date of the European rearmament plan, Readiness 2030, also known as ReArm Europe, is precisely the year mentioned by Vansina: 2030.
