EU to do a common defense due to chaotic evacuation from Kabul

Chaotic evacuation of the citizens of Western countries from Afghanistan showed how important it is to provide overall defense for the European Union (EU). With this opinion, the EU Supreme Representative on Foreign Affairs and the Security Policy Josep Borrel, Citizes Reuters.

“sometimes occurring events that are a catalyst for historical events that provoke a breakthrough. I think that Afghanistan is one of these cases,” the head of Eurodiplomia is convinced.

Borrel decided to make the creation of a single European army with a number of five thousand servicemen. It should be engaged in ensuring the safety of EU countries. Reuters notes that the goal of creating such an army is not only in defense, but also in achieving independence from the US troops. Borrel noted that additional forces will allow more quickly in situations like evacuation from Kabul.

Earlier, the diplomat said that the victory of the Taliban (terrorist movement, prohibited in Russia) in Afghanistan indicates a clear defeat of the West, from which the lesson should be taken out and prevent similar actions in other parts of the world. According to Borrel, Afghanistan was not lost in ten days, and for ten years, as Western countries “could not help create the foundations of the modern state.”

He did not agree with the words of US President Joe Bayden, that the purpose of the operation in Afghanistan was initially only a struggle against terrorism. Borrel believes that the task of creating modern society, with institutions, which respect human rights, in particular, women.
