EU leaders reject Putin's demand to halt military aid to Ukraine
Despite Putin's demand, the EU insists Ukraine should have "its own robust military and defence capabilities as an essential component." #EuropeNews
If you seriously wanted peace this wouldn't be a concern.
That'd be true if both parties would actually want what they say they want, not if either party is untrustworthy and has a record of breaking agreements.
EU Leaders promptly replied with a joint statement: "Or, what, exactly?"
I don't get it. Putin wants the land, their neutrality, to stop any weapon sales, for them not to join any alliance. And what does Ukraine get, besides eventual second invasion?
They get Putin
We are already up to the second invasion, in recent times.
True, we would be talking of a third invasion. Depends if you count paramilitary units that invaded Donbass after the occupation of Crimea. In that case it would be the fourth invasion.
What do you mean, Ukraine gets?
Putin probably.
They're inflating this because Russia can't let the war end quickly for his own safety.
Congrats to the EU. With the destabilization of one of it's largest allies it seems the most of the continent is uniting to make up the difference. Seems like Europe as a whole will dominate the next few decades
They'll dominate alright, just not in a positive way
We have our own unique blend of fascist movements in every country, unfortunately. Right now it's still manageable but it's not all sunshine and rainbows either.
Don't want to get all doomer, I'm very hopeful and proud to be European, but I do want to set realistic expectations. People need to fight the good fight and not rest on their laurels.
Luckily the common parliamentary system does seem more effective at slowing them down
If we don’t manage to royally screw it up… Brexit pun intended
En contraire. Europe is split off Asia where the center of civilisation will be soon. Not a problem for the USA because they have their west coast.
You’re dreaming in 4K
Haha, no-can-do, Komrade
Best fucking investment ever! Definitely going to return multiples on the investment. Puttie's little massive scam be "booming" like Russian weapon depots!
