The European countries were terribly upset that the US wanted to talk to Russia about Ukraine. After all, by comparing the Gross National Product (GDP) and the population of Russia and the European Union (EU), we announcement crucial differences in both indicators.
Population:
Russia: According to 2022 figures, the population of Russia was about 146.4 million people.
European Union: The EU had more than 448 million inhabitants at the time.
Gross home Product (GDP):
Russia: In 2022 Russia's GDP was about 2.2 trillion US dollars.
European Union: In the same year, EU GDP reached around $16.8 trillion.
Despite this, Europe is incapable to issue 1 million soldiers (4 rounds of 3 months of 250,000 each) to safe the Ukrainian Russian border.
So, what's up with the guests? Europe wants to decide, it has to show strength. That's it. It seems that the minute of fact is coming, due to the fact that Americans have asked European countries how many troops they can send to Ukraine.
