EU Provides $500 Million To Buy Arms For Ukraine; Turkey Readies Closure Of Straits To Russian Navy
There’s now an EU-wide consensus on supplying Ukraine with arms amid reports that large columns of ground and armored forces are moving closer to Kiev, and as fighting rages across other parts of Ukraine. “European Union member states on Sunday agreed to unblock 450 millions euros ($500 million) for members states to buy arms for Ukraine, the bloc’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said,” the AFP reports.
“The measure is part of a wide-ranging package of support and sanctions agreed by the 27 EU states. Borrell said they also formally approved a move to ban any transactions with the Russian Central Bank.”

While the EU plays checkers, Putin is playing chess.
Europe risks being taken over, piece by piece, starting with the Baltic states.
Or if they are truly stupid, perhaps in a month. One American aircraft carrier goes down to a hypersonic missile, and there goes the fantasy of NATO. Although Justin Castreau has proven to be a fearsome warrior these past few weeks. Alas, global warming and white supremacy may keep him hunkered down in North America.
