When the war in Ukraine broke out, and Europe was hesitant in the first year, I thought alright, this is a surprise to everyone and of course we need time to prepare.

Now 4 years have passed, and we are 450 million EU citizens and 69 UK citizens still standing on the sidelines, telling 38 million Ukrainians they should fight 133 million Russians on their own.

We could end this war. Instead we keep pretending that it is fine to let Ukraine take all the punches.

I find that profoundly shameful.

@randahl I agree with you a 100%. And I do not understand.

There has to be a money trail we cannot see - to every inexplicability, money is always the answer. No exceptions. I cannot see it in this war.

@randahl Agreed, but it does not stop private support. In the last 3 years I donated 1000s in equipment, winter supplies and cash. Just find your local Ukraine charity or donate via many mechanisms online.

This Is Why Russia Can’t Afford to Stall Talks: What Ukraine Is Getting in 2026

Ukraine is set for a significant upgrade in air capabilities by 2026, enhancing defense and strike operations against Russian forces.

What's even more disgraceful is how Ukraine is being used to test the next generation of weapons for WW3.

They aren't guinea pigs in a lab.
