European countries are working on a package of military assistance for Ukraine in the amount of at least 20 billion euros, Politico and Bloomberg said, citing diplomatic sources. The European Union is thus trying to support Kyiv against the backdrop of US rapprochement with Russia. The package will include, in particular, artillery shells, air defense systems, missiles.
Efforts in military assistance to Ukraine are coordinated by the head of European diplomacy, the former Prime Minister of Estonia Kaya Callas. Politico interlocutors note that assistance will most likely be provided in the form of "combined contributions of individual member states, and not an official EU package, taking into account opposition from some states-primarily Hungary."
At the same time, a few days ago, Politico reported that the European Union is preparing to provide Ukraine with a lesser -scale package for a smaller amount of six billion euros.
According to The Telegraph, the Prime Minister of Great Britain Kir Starkmer is also preparing to announce the new package of Ukraine’s support. It is assumed that this will happen on February 24, on the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In addition, London plans to announce new sanctions against Russia. Another measure of support will be a new scheme for the fight against Russian “dirty money”. According to the source in the government, the object of persecution by the UK may be "oligarchs supporting Vladimir Putin."
The Telegraph notes that the UK will “emphasize the discrepancies” in the positions of Washington and London in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with these decisions.
Elena (Kyiv). It is good for the Russians to sit somewhere in Vladivostok or Ulan-Ude and talk about the fact that Ukraine needs to make concessions. You do not feel and do not understand what exactly scares us, for which exactly we are fighting. We lose our identification, we again become part of the colony, the next federal district, we again lose our language, our culture, our freedom.
Let it seem to you from the side that we live somehow wrong, we need to instruct us to be the true, teach how to live correctly-or that we will not lose anything. We will lose everything, as we have already lost more than once. I do not want my son to go to school and listen to “Talk about the important” in the morning, I do not want to see a tricolor on the streets and listen to Russian speech in the media.
I feel sick of your desire to cause goodness to us, from your ideology, your culture of fear, denunciations, hostility to the surrounding countries, from your Great Russian chauvinism.
I want our country to be just left alone - with security guarantees. And that is why here all normal people against these negotiations about Ukraine without Ukraine. This is just a deed of our territory, our resources, erasing the country and several tens of millions of people from the field of the game from history. You cannot understand this, you are simply not able to understand this, because you have no other experience.
