    Kokov noted that the EU leadership and the authorities of European countries are ready to spend billions from their budgets at the expense of their own people. “The clearest manifestation of their cynicism and hypocrisy is the financing of hostilities [in Ukraine] from the so-called European Peace Facility. At the same time, most of these funds end up in the accounts of affiliated companies and are simply plundered by the Ukrainian leadership, their cronies, and lobbyists from the European Union,” he added.

    one of the big takeaways is how well this conflict dispels any notion that europeans are somewhat better global citizens than americans or russian and it makes me wonder if the europeans are as distraught by this unmasking as americans are about our own unmasking with trump.
