Ukraine wants to maintain an army of 800,000 and other countries will finance it.

Ukraine wants to maintain an army of 800,000 and other countries will finance it.

Ukraine is asking for financial support for at least 10 years after the end of the war to maintain an army of 800,000 soldiers. This is to ensure the ability to defend against a "possible new Russian attack". "This was reported by AFP, citing a Ukrainian source.

Multiple Ukrainian networks reporting this, I should note, but when you go to the AFP article it doesn't mention it. Maybe it was on AFP and it was removed? I find it hard to imagine the EU/UK raising hundreds of billions for such a project and also a country with such a low population can maintain an army of 800K standing in peacetime.
