EU chiefs assure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they have the tools to unblock the funds.
The EU will deliver on its promise to give Ukraine a much-needed €90 billion loan, despite Hungary attempting to derail the effort at the last minute, top officials said on Tuesday.
Speaking in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council chief António Costa both insisted that the loan would go ahead soon.
“We will deliver on our word one way or the other,” von der Leyen told reporters. “Let me be clear. We have different options and we will use them.”
Then they’re being anti-strategic morons:
Orban is Putin’s ally, NOT EU’s.
Appeasement won’t allow the EU to be viable, once Trump has ripped civilrights from the Americas, & the EU has NOBODY helping it, against China-backed Putin.
No matter: the souls who WON’T learn, this world, … whenever they accept that their opportunity’s finally gone ( like millenia in the future, after not having human-category-lives to inhabit because we wouldn’t do what we had to do, to survive )…
they’ll find some other world, & …
… do exactly the same won’t-grow-up there, too.
Only a tiny-percentage of souls grow-up, on each world, it looks like, & that means that no significant fraction of humankind will grow-up in time, here.
So, a species-wide DarwinAward will be our epitaph, later this century.
At-least inertia/won’t-grow-up gets to be honored as being our most-important “god”…
That must mean something…

I don’t think appeasement is the strategy, why would you think that?
