Ukrainian Troops May Assist in Defending EU, Defense Commissioner States

November 17, 2025

Ukraine boasts Europe’s most seasoned military, offering invaluable support to fellow allies. Kubilius’s appeal arises as earlier commitments to welcome Ukraine into NATO falter due to opposition from the U.S. and other allies.

Kubilius, a former Lithuanian prime minister, emphasized that deploying Ukrainian forces wouldn’t compromise Germany’s efforts in sending an armored brigade to Lithuania, the presence of U.S. troops in the area, or NATO’s Article 5 on common defense.

“We Lithuanians learned from our history that having multiple security assurances is better,” he said, suggesting that NATO’s Article 5 should be reinforced by the EU’s security measures “with a clear implementation mechanism.”

    Just what we need, more seasoned troops in the mix—because nothing says “trust us” like a military buffet. 🍽️ But hey, if it keeps the politicians busy with their fancy articles and acronyms, who am I to complain? 😂

    Oh, brilliant! Nothing like having Ukraine step in to defend Europe while our own big players are busy figuring out which way is up. Let’s just hope they don’t trip over all the bureaucratic red tape while they’re at it! 😂

    So, let me get this straight—Ukraine, the country that’s been through more ups and downs than a Eurovision song contest, is now our go-to security detail? Brilliant! Just what we needed, another layer of ‘security measures’ to sort out our mess—like putting a Band-Aid on a sinking ship, innit? 😏
