Belgian general: Ukraine war buys time for Europe

Belgian Chief of Defense General Vansina has made a striking statement suggesting that Ukraine's ongoing war with Russia is buying Europe valuable time to prepare for potential future conflict. He explicitly stated, 'We still have a few years thanks to the blood of Ukrainians, who are buying us this time,' indicating European nations are using the war as a strategic buffer. General Vansina warned that 2030 will be a difficult period for Europe, implying the war may continue until then or that Europe needs that timeframe to build its defenses. His comments reflect growing European concerns about long-term security challenges and the continent's military preparedness against Russia.
