Pistorius warned that Russia's arms production and aggression in Ukraine could pose a real danger to Europe, particularly the Baltic states, Georgia, and Moldova. He emphasized the need for Europe to re-arm itself and push for military cooperation and aid beyond its borders to counter the influence of Russia and China.
