The President of the European People's Party (EPP) and Chairman of the EPP Group in the European Parliament, Manfred Weber, stated this Wednesday in Brussels at the Forum Europa that sending "peacekeeping troops" to Ukraine could be the "starting point" for a "European Army" once an agreement is reached to end the war in that country.
Weber made these remarks while participating in an information session organised by New Economy Forum in the EU capital, where the European leader was introduced by Dolors Montserrat, Secretary General of the EPP.
