  1. 1:00How confident are you that Europe can, as Van der Leyen said, stay united, proportional, and respond?
Andrej Plenković 0:00 ↗
Realistic ambitions. I don't see any signals that it might happen because the Kremlin's regime is as it is and even the change of Kremlin's regime probably will not mean the radical changes in the policy of Russia because I from time to time I hear what the Russian opposition leaders are talking about.

They like the European Union they are talking about enlargement but we are talking about civilized enlargement and they are talking about enlargement by using the force and by using the guns.
