Parley noted the need for Europe to create military instruments that would “match its economic and political power,” and pointed out the impossibility of ensuring Europe’s security without dialogue with Russia.
“Without dialogue there will be no security,” the minister emphasized.
She also recalled the statement by French leader Emmanuel Macron regarding the "death of NATO's brain", calling it the desire to encourage members of the alliance to debate.
She previously explained Macron’s words about “the death of NATO’s brain” with a desire to “sound an alarm,” noting that “NATO is the cornerstone of European security and defense, but it needs to adapt.”
