Shafaq News / On Sunday, Italian Foreign Minister Antonio Taiani called on the European Union to form a joint army to play a role in maintaining peace and preventing the outbreak of conflicts in the world. (Or to start one by inciting Russia or China)...!

 

Taiani said in an interview with the Italian newspaper La Stampa that close European cooperation in the military field is a priority for the Forza Italia party that he leads, adding: “If we want to become peacekeepers in the world, we need a European army. "This is an essential precondition for us to have an effective European foreign policy."

 

The Italian diplomat added: “In a world that includes powerful parties such as the United States, China, India, and Russia, and is rife with crises extending from the Middle East to the Pacific region, Italian, German, French, or Slovenian citizens can only be protected by an entity that already exists, which is the European Union.”

 

Tayani pointed out that the 27-nation European Union must facilitate its leadership and have a single presidency instead of the current structure consisting of a president of the European Council and a president of the European Commission.

 

European cooperation in the military field has risen to the political agenda since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which is approaching its second year. However, efforts are more focused on expanding NATO, as Finland, a member of the bloc, joined the alliance last year, while Sweden is awaiting ratification of its accession.

Shafaq News / Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, recommended that the European Union consider creating an anti-coronavirus vaccine or learn how to properly guard its borders, before creating a private army.

 

Zakharova wrote on her Telegram channel: “An army for the European Union? Maybe they should start developing their own vaccine against Covid? Or learn how to protect the borders of the European Union in a humane way, in accordance with international obligations? Solve the issue of refugees and migrants? Only then can a private army be created for the Union.” "European".

 

The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman added that before forming the army, it is necessary to know the fuel that the forces will use in their vehicles.

 

Zakharova continued: “Then the American president will arrive in Brussels and say that he will raise fuel prices if the European Union army does not attack those he refers to.”

 

Zakharova also asked the question: “Why does each NATO country pay huge sums of money... to the common treasury,” and in fact to Washington, to “go to ensure security.”

 

Earlier, Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Antonio Taiani said that the European Union must form its own armed forces that can play a role in maintaining peace and preventing conflicts.
