According to political scientist and scientific director of the Institute of Regional Problems Dmitry Zhuravlev, the creation of a single European army is, in principle, possible, but it will be very difficult to do so.
"I even understand why Macron started talking about this - because he is going to take first place in this army. The German leadership has become so idiotic that it is clearly not up to the leadership in Europe. The main military production in Europe is French. The question is whose weapons the Poles, Hungarians, Romanians will buy - American or French, that's the whole story," the expert noted.
At the same time, Zhuravlev does not believe that the Americans will allow Macron to carry out his plans.
Answering a question about the possibility of withdrawing azerbaijan mobile database American troops from Europe, which Macron also mentioned, RIA Novosti’s interlocutor recalled that, first of all, it is very expensive.
"I understand that Trump is an explosive and emotional person, but when it comes to money, he knows how to count it. And withdrawing troops from Europe is like us withdrawing troops from the GDR in our time - pure ruin"

As for the possible introduction of European peacekeepers into Ukrainian territory, Zhuravlev is skeptical.
"They need not only to be recruited, but also equipped, armed and fed. The arsenals are empty, everything has gone to Ukraine. So it will be very difficult to do this," the RIA Novosti source believes.
In addition, the political scientist recalled that there is currently no unified command for European troops, and if they are brought into Ukraine, “fun” could begin.
"I understand Zelensky, he wants to hide behind a European army. So that the Russians either attack Europe and then fight with it, or stop and stop beating him. But this is not how it is solved," the expert summed up.
