She speculated about the need to impose restrictions on the Russian army after the end of the Ukrainian conflict.

We are talking about reducing the size of the Russian Armed Forces and military spending.

"Now the negotiations are discussing restrictions for the Ukrainian army. But let's be honest: The Ukrainian army is not a problem. The problem for your country, for my country and for many European countries has always been the Russian army," Callas said.
