The EU is apparently instituting an ad-hoc military component to fund the release of jets to Ukraine.

Wall Street Journal

quote:

BRUSSELS—The European Union for the first time will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons, in a show of support for Ukraine against Russia’s invasion, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday. The EU also will extend to Belarus sanctions similar to those it imposed on Russia, ban the entry of Russian planes into EU airspace and ban from the 27-country bloc Russian state-owned media outlets Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries.

Not even sure what to say here.

Funding might as well have come from the DNC. The EU is just as far left and corrupt as they are.

Can this war be put on a simple Left-Right axis, when the Chinese are siding with the Russians in this war?

And the EU and Post-Brexit UK are siding with Ukraine?

Oh, sorry. It’s been mentioned in other articles covering the same story. I thought it was explicitly mentioned in this one.

Here you go:

BRUSSELS—Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has asked the European Union for jet fighter jets some EU countries plan to supply them, EU foreign-policy chief Josep Borrell said Sunday.

They found a supply of Cold War era Migs to send to the Ukraine? Nice.

A person familiar with the talks later said that discussions are still ongoing. The person said any planes would be supplied directly by EU member states and not funded through an arrangement announced earlier for the EU to finance weapons deliveries to Ukraine. Mr. Borrell said that Mr. Kuleba had requested planes that Ukrainian Air Force pilots can fly. Ukraine's jet fighters are Soviet-built MiG and Sukhoi models. Some current EU members that were once part of the USSR-led Warsaw Pact still fly such planes or have old ones parked.

I did not make a comment about the war.

Again, not a word about Britain.

My post STRICTLY implied the EU being as far left as the DNC is today.

I wish they had them now. That 3.5 mile Russian armored group headed to Kiev would be a perfect target.

Not in your original post but, this is.

quote:

funding arms purchases for Ukraine, the EU won't buy weapons directly but reimburse purchases or transfers from its member countries to Ukraine’s military. The decision to fund lethal weapons marks a sharp turn in EU policy, which until now has largely precluded deadly engagement in conflicts.


Sucker!!
