Former Prime Minister Draghi makes a scary warning: The end of Europe would come if...

Mario Draghi has returned after a long absence from the public scene, speaking about the future of the war in Ukraine and the unity of Europe.

"Russia must be defeated or it will be the end of Europe. A triumph for Putin or an "unstable balance" in the war in Ukraine would be extremely dangerous for the European Union, Draghi stressed in his first public speech since last October.

As the former Italian prime minister pointed out in his speech in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the war in Ukraine showed the unity of the EU in the defense of fundamental values ??and the predominance by member states of their national interests.

This unity will be decisive in the future, especially in terms of "the formation of the Union to include Ukraine, the countries of the Balkans and those of Eastern Europe" and the organization of a European defense system that will be complementary to NATO.

According to Draghi, the geopolitical consequences of a prolonged conflict in Eastern Europe are of great importance and require adequate preparation. First of all, the EU must be ready to strengthen its defense capabilities.

Second, Ukraine should be part of NATO.

Third, we must prepare for the change in the global economy," he said.
