Popular Post Social Media Posted February 1 Popular Post Share Posted February 1 All 27 EU leaders have finally reached an agreement on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine, overcoming previous objections from Hungary. This significant development follows months of negotiations and demonstrates a renewed commitment from the European Union to support Ukraine in its ongoing struggle against Russia. Key Points: The package will provide crucial financial assistance to Ukraine over the next four years, aiming to cover essential expenses like pensions, salaries, and other government costs. This agreement comes at a critical time as Ukraine awaits approval of military aid from the US Congress, currently on hold. Notably, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, previously an obstacle to the deal, agreed to the new terms, which include yearly discussions and a potential review after two years. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed gratitude for the united support from the EU, emphasizing the package's role in strengthening Ukraine's long-term economic and financial stability. Additional Information: The €50 billion package highlights Europe's unwavering commitment to Ukraine's security and its broader vision of upholding the international order in the face of Russian aggression. This latest development follows the EU's decision to open accession talks with Ukraine in December, another significant step towards closer ties. While concerns remain regarding Hungary's internal issues, this agreement showcases the EU's collective strength and ability to overcome internal divisions when faced with major challenges. Overall, the €50 billion aid package serves as a powerful message of solidarity and support for Ukraine from the European Union. It marks a crucial step in ensuring the country's long-term stability and resilience in the face of ongoing conflict. 02.02.24 Source 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impulse Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I wonder how many Ukrainian men they just doomed to die. They can spend that money to rebuild, or they can squander it and be in even worse shape in 4 more years. 7 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hopes to swallow up Ukraine into Russia. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 (edited) Great that Europe is stepping up. A horrible stain of treasonous shame on the rasical US isolationist maga party led by adjudicated rapist Trump for blocking the US aid to Ukraine.

Not the Ukraine The poster I was replying to seems to be more aligned with Russia's positions. So when he expresses 'concern' about Ukrainian casualties, it's got to be put in perspective, vs. the rest of his posts. If this was to do with actual concern about casualties, both sides ought to have been referenced. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not ask Putin, who started the war in the first place, and should be responsible for ALL the rebuilding costs? 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't bother mentioning my tax money or my families tax money in the UK. You just did. I don't think the British public fully realises they have just contributed another 2.5 billion with an open cheque book to come to fund not just the Ukrainian military but the whole civic administration as well such as pensions and salaries. And make no mistake we are on a trajectory to probably double our military spend in the next 10 years or maybe sooner. That's with a new generation without affordable housing,secure employment or pensions with the threat of conscription looming its ugly head whilst financially secure boomers cheer it on from their comfortable bolthole in some corrupt foreign land. But when they do there is and will be rising anger on the home front. There's barely a discerniable Ukrainian flag in the UK anymore but a whole sea of Palestinian ones. I'm no fan of Farage but when he sees the EU army coming into being he will mobilise his rag tag army of populists to resist.

You are confused, many people pay tax in the UK, this topic however is not about that or a 1 year old twitter vid from Farage Edited February 3 by Bkk Brian 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
