Europe 'Not Strong Enough' to Take on Russia, Needs U.S. Help—FinlandEurope would be "in trouble" without the United States providing military assistance to Ukraine in the war launched by Russia, Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin said.Speaking in Sydney, Australia, on Friday, Marin offered a "brutally honest" assessment of Europe's current defense capabilities in light of the war, which began when Russian President Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24."The U.S. has given a lot of weapons, a lot of financial aid, and a lot of humanitarian aid to Ukraine," said Marin, adding that many U.S. politicians she has spoken to think Europe should be stronger."We have to make sure we are also building those capabilities when it comes to European defense and the European defense industry."Ukraine's "Kakhovka" task force previously credited HIMARS with assisting its troops in destroying almost all the large Russia-controlled bridges in the southern Kherson region, something that largely cut Russia's forces off from vital supplies of weapons, military equipment and personnel from the annexed Crimea region."
