Ukraine wants to maintain an army of 800,000 and have other countries fund it. Ukraine is seeking financial support for at least 10 years after the end of the war to maintain an army of 800,000 soldiers. This is intended to ensure the ability to defend itself against a "possible new Russian attack." This was reported by AFP, citing a Ukrainian source. Multiple Ukrainian outlets reporting this I should note but when you go to the AFP article it makes no mention of this. Perhaps it was in the AFP and it was removed? I have a hard time imagining the EU/UK ponying up hundreds of billions for such a project nor can a country with such a low population keep a 800K army standing in peace time. @Slavyangrad
