Euronews: EU pitches €20-billion plan in long-term military support for Ukraine  

Josep Borrell, the European Union's foreign policy chief, has proposed a new plan to provide "sustainable and predictable" military support to Ukraine. 

Under the blueprint, the bloc will earmark €20 billion for the next four years to partially reimburse the expenses incurred by member states with their supplies to the war-torn nation, which is in the midst of a counteroffensive against the invading Russian troops. 

The money will pay for lethal and non-lethal equipment, in line with the neutrality principle that a few member states maintain, and would constitute one of the security commitments EU leaders agreed to provide Ukraine at a summit last month.

Is Borrell an elected politician or an unelected appointee?

Hungary is obviously the only country in Europe with any brains.

Borrell is Master of The Walled Garden, and that jungle outside is scaring him.
Like every idiot at the EU, he operatea under the delusion that the EU is powerful, wealthy, solvent, and living in reality. Coming soon, Sanctions Package # 43, where they ban toilet peper exports to Russia, because without that, Russia will have to surrender immediatley.

No fazzy, The Soviet Union is gone.

They have dropped billions into Ukraine. Now they want more. The Hunkys are right. Screw that.

You sell everything you own Fazzy and give it to zelinski so he can get another vase or set of curtains for his villa in Italy. Maybe then we will listen to you.

Try making nice with Fazman instead of showing how silly you are by badmouthing someone who has something to say and to consider. Such childish behavior tells us more about you than about Fazman.

Took only one crisis for the EU to go from a customs and trade union to needing money from it's members to build an army.
