He stressed that today, there is no leader in Europe who is not talking about the need for significantly greater European independence, much greater European self-reliance, and much greater autonomous strength for all of Europe.

"This is now one of the main trends. We are proposing concrete steps, concrete projects that make Europe stronger," Zelensky said.

As was reported earlier, the establishment of the Ukrainian-German defense enterprise Quantum Frontline Industries was announced as part of the new initiative "Build with Ukraine" in December.
