EU Considers Spending $700 Billion On Ukraine Because Trump Won’t

So far, the U.S. has spent $120 billion. The EU has spent $52 billion, and roughly another $60 billion from various European nations directly. And now, because Trump has shut the spigot off, at least for the time being and dependent on what ends up in the next Congressional continuing resolution (pass a damned budget!)

BREAKING: Russia might be devastated! It looks like Europe is stepping up in a major way, potentially committing $732 billion in additional aid to Ukraine—nearly 2.5 times the total global support Ukraine has received since the war began.

EU discusses €700 billion plan for defence spending and Ukraine support

The European Union is considering a large-scale plan to increase defence spending and provide military aid to Ukraine, with funding expected to reach approximately €700 billion.

Source: German newspaper Berliner Zeitung, as reported by European Pravda

Details: The newspaper states that amid US President Donald Trump’s plans to end the war in Ukraine, the EU is discussing a large defence funding package.

There has been no official public announcement regarding the funding amount. However, Berliner Zeitung cites German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, who hinted in an interview with Bloomberg at the Munich Security Conference that the package could be around €700 billion.

Quote: “We will launch a large package that has never been seen in this dimension before. Similar to the euro or the corona crisis, there is now a financial package for security in Europe. That will come in the near future,” Baerbock said in an interview conducted before the emergency Ukraine summit in Paris on 17 February.

I kinda hate using Pravda as a source, but, it was the first article that came up on the search, and the search only had a few links to come up. Anyhow, is it true? Democrats sure seem to want it to be true. Because they want to keep spending for no outcome. Why? Because Trump Derangement Syndrome. Also, the Elites continue to make quite a bit of money investing in supporting Ukraine with military weapons and such.

But, really, if they can do this now, why didn’t they do it before? If they are saying that it could help Ukraine defeat Russia then why not before when the war was started and the armies weren’t entrenched 3 years on?
