Besides some old tech freebies and a little training, how will NATO help Ukraine?
EU states need to cut their reliance on Russian gas, so that Putin doesn’t have us by the balls.
When it happens they’re not gonna do shit. We’ll see in a few months.
What we are witnessing is essentially the European ‘Cuban missile crisis’. This situation has been warming up since summer, from the HMS Defender incident to the continued NATO recon flights/naval exercises in Black Sea. This was then compounded by further US arms deliveries and the UK agreeing to a £1.7b loan deal for ships/missiles along with Turkish TB2 localization work with Ukraine. The temperature was further increased by Ukraine’s TB2 strike in the Donbas (with video). It isn’t hard to decipher that Russia has now assessed the threat scenario requires a forceful response unless it can bring NATO & the U.S back to the table to pivot towards de-escalation and a wind down of military support and presence. Putin is giving Ukraine, NATO & Europe a chance to reverse it’s course before it feels it has no choice but to roll in all the way to the Dnieper, for which it’s not U.S, UK, French or German soldiers that will be dying but poor Ukranian forces misled to think they have their back only that their backup can only provide strongly worded letters, tweets, emergency meetings and sanctions.
I keep waiting to hear the French government’s position on the current Ukranian-Russian tensions. IMO, Macron’s silence is starting to become noticeable.
I get the news, but wasn’t this news reported in any other news outlet/agency? Why use Anadolu Agency (aka Erdoreport)?
What a bunch of BS, Ukraine’s defence minister said France and Germany are split from Canada, USA, UK over how to respond. They don’t want to hurt economic ties
Remember, in 2008 this has been ridiculed as being overly russophobic.
