Recording: Is Europe ready for war? Q&A with Oleksiy Sorokin and Martin Fornusek

Dear Kyiv Independent members, 

Thank you to everyone who was able to join our Q&A “Is Europe ready for war?”on Monday. In short, as it stands, Europe is not ready for war. However, a lot could change in the coming months and years. 

Deputy chief editor Oleksiy Sorokin and senior news editor Martin Fornusek answered your questions about the ability and willingness of Europe to provide intelligence, weapons — including air defense — and troops to help Ukraine defend against further Russian aggression. 

They also discussed the unity of the EU and NATO, and Russia’s ability to sustain its war. 

We’d also like to thank those who sent in their questions — your questions are always the foundation of our discussions. Thank you for taking the time to write in.
