You mean the EU is about to commercially make sales on an ongoing conflict? This is what the issue has always been, the West takes every chance to sell weapons to sides during a conflict.

They can get involved directly but they refused. They could have not nudged Ukraine into a war they know they can't handle, they refused.

They could have given then these weapons for free too but this is the EU and US. Money is the most important factor which they will book as a loan to Ukraine with crazy interest rates when Ukraine will need money to rebuild

Pls, calm down and read the news ooo.

They said aid not borrow pls!

Obviously, Putin called their bluff, he ignored their threats and invaded Ukraine, but what's done is done so the question now is what's next? We sit it out and watch Putin colonize Ukraine? Let him gain more power, and move on to his other neighbors like Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania, all NATO members? Or even Poland and so on. ?

This is now about stopping the next Hitler.

Of course, they can not get involved directly, but they are involved regardless, they are providing weapons, fuel, intelligence, military advice, and now fighter jets and possibly volunteer pilots.

I don't think they are billing Ukraine for the weapons and funding reconstruction is almost guaranteed.


It's aid. It is clearly stated in the article.

What we need presently is global peace and not war. I will continue to say this, for the world to have peace then the UN must ban building and selling of weapons.
In every crisis everyone want to cash. Providing weapons to Ukraine will make more Ukrainian refugee in other countries.

I hope soonest Russia and Ukraine will come to terms and restored back peace in Ukraine.
According to the scripture, there are times for war and a time for peace. The former is happening right now.

Nobody in the EU ‘nudged Ukraine to war’. You people should stop parroting these lies.
In fact, the Western European members of NATO have been the ones opposed to Ukraine joining NATO.

These weapons are being given to Ukraine as aid. Not sold.



What did Zelensky do, aside just leading his country?
Read about what the Ukrainian forces did in the donbas region before it turned into this.

I hope you know much about Yemen fight? FYI, Biden restricted arm supply to Saudi because of them attacking Yemen with it.

Biden was only inaugurated last year, and before then there's been bombardment on Yemen by Saudis with American weapons. Also the issues in Ukraine didn't start this year either, there's been enough bloodshed in the donbas region long before the invasion

I also want to ask. Has the bombardment stopped since Biden stopped selling weapons to the Saudis? Has there been any condemnation of the act? Has there been any consequence to their continued attacks in Yemen?

The reason Ukraine going to be the biggest loser is also why Yemen is in ruins after Iran and Saudi fought a proxy war there.

The West will not send troops, they will send weapons, Russia will send a fraction of its military and they will have their war but on whose soil? Not any of them. It will be Ukraine that will suffer.

Bring it on. The boss is prepared for the worst.

Putin is ready for heaven to fall. He is an ex KGB, not a comedian like Ukraine clown and soon to be former president. He has planned this over the years. He is prepared to take the world including China if China decides to die with the enemies in the West including US, whole of Europe, Canada, Australia. Putin is ready to end the world, after all everything that has a beginning must surely has an end.

If Europe and US continue their nonsense, we will all wake up one day in Hell Fire because Putin will nuke all of us.

The ukrainian will be the biggest loser in this war, one thing I like about Russia and her allies, they make less noise and watch the west do the noise making and strike where it hurts the most.

the noise maker saying "we have put our nuclear weapons on high alert"

Have you seen USA saying we have a weapon that can wipe off the planet. Instead, they call it classified information.

or whats your definition of noise maker?

They are selling arms which means 2 things

1. The arms are old tech and went be as effective against an overwhelming force like Russia
2. The arms are new tech which either means they won't be sent immediately as they will require training and more equipment or They just want to clear out their warehouse.

Both ways, smile to the bank for the EU

Already in Ukraine, the AZOV Batallion full of Swastikas bearing ultra nationalists are stopping civilians from leaving, they are shooting civilians who wants to live, but you will never see this in any western mainstream media.

Also, most of the guns handed out to civilians have turned into a cluster of gang members and have increased criminality in some cities like Kiev, as many of the armed civilians now use the guns to rob, maim and steal. The government in Kiev is now disarming some of them again. Ukraine is becoming a third-world nation gradually imploding within, that's why the West are desperate to somehow intervene.

The Russians must now speed up the enciclement of Mariupol, deploy more forces to support the 30,000 earlier deploy as ground troops. It's now or never for Moscow.

Firstly, it's AID, as at today Ukraine has gotten more than 2B dollars worth of aids. Those countries are not SELLING to Ukraine, they are doing what we call DASH. So it's not a profit based transaction as we see on buying and selling.

Secondly, Ukraine will have some infrastructural deficiencies during the war, but when all is said and done, the bill to develop is solely going to be on the West. You are actually going to see them better than before.

Russia has reached the stage of no going back becomes it means defeat, tragically, the global powers will be committing themselves more to Ukraine cause the more Russia desists from doing the right thing.

The biggest loser from this war will be Russia, win or lose.

Giving it ou t for free will give Russia room to build crazy theories of conspiracy against the west. As a loan, it will attract less noise and can always vr written off. Besides, the amount being paraded from US and EU is just about a billion euro combined. Not so big if you ask me.

If you take away Putin's Air power, his army will be completely useless against Ukrainians defense.
Well, he still has nuclear power, whether he is suicidal enough to use it is another issue.

Putin's plan was to seize most the capital and most of Ukraine in 1 to 2 days so that nobody
will have time to react. But his plans failed as couldn't hold on to any major city.

Lmao, his plan was never to hold any territory initially, you don't invade and hold down territories in a country the size of Ukraine with 30,000 troops. Much of the 150,000 troops masses at the borders are still not involved in ground battles yet. The precision strategic strikes was the opening goal to disrupt the government and set the second phase on course. No one still knows Putin's endgame in this whole thing. But I suspect he wants to take Kiev, which would mean an end to the fighting spirit of the Ukronazis in the Eastern fronts of the battle.

BTW, it took America and Britain 26 days to take Iraq, and that's even at the expenses of leaving tens of thousands of dead bodies of civilians in ruins. Here, it's just 4 days now and the Russians are already closing in on Kiev, with Kharkiv being mopped up as we speak, and the slow down in the Russian advance is primarily to allow civilians to evacuate, which the AZOV battalion is resisting, shooting civilians who wants to leave and moving artillery into civilian buildings to use them as human shields. The western media is not reporting any of this. Get real news from alternate sources like the Moon of Alabama.

I am not surprised. What the west wanted to achieve in the long run by allowing Ukraine to join NATO and build militarily base in Ukraine with the aim of attacking Russia someday is what they are acting out now. Let the Ukrainian do the fighting for NATO and will all contribute resources to rebuild what's will be left of Ukraine after the war.
