The Biden administration has pledged to provide $1.5Bln 'a month to Kiev' to keep the Ukrainian economy afloat and is pushing the EU to commit to a similar package, Bloomberg has reported.
"How will politicians explain that huge funds can be made available to Ukraine but not to support the EU citizens?" the strategic analyst said. "The attempt to justify such a choice, recalling the famous 'EU values', is dangerous because the EU Treaties never speak of 'values'. The risk is to ignite a series of 'EU exits'."
Meanwhile, the EU is facing a severe economic slowdown, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has warned. "Since the beginning of the 'Ukraine issue' back in 2008 to 2014, it was clear to me that the Anglosphere has used it as a Trojan horse to check both EU [Germany] and Russia," says Paolo Raffone, a strategic analyst and director of the CIPI Foundation in Brussels. ......"The EU leadership is fundamentally working against European interests, abiding by the policy dictated by the US/UK/NATO. No doubt the EU will be saddled with the greatest share of rebuilding Ukraine that will be, together with Poland, a US/UK strategic fiefdom in Eastern Europe to separate the EU from Russia and therefore stymie Germany's heft as a regional and global player. [This is] just like the 1901 Mackinder theory."

Sputnik (news agency)
From Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_(news_agency)
“Sputnik (Russian pronunciation: [ˈsputʲnʲɪk]; formerly Voice of Russia and RIA Novosti, naming derived from Russian Спутник) is a Russian state-owned[1] news agency, news website platform and radio broadcast service...From November 2017, Radio Sputnik began to be carried on AM in Washington, D.C., on WZHF 1390 AM. The American owners of the stations were required to register as a foreign agent by the United States Department of Justice.[32][33] Sputnik is blocked from owning an American radio station outright due to Federal Communications Commission rules against foreign ownership of broadcast assets, as enacted in the Communications Act of 1934.”
[huge (American) funds can be made available to (Anywhere) but not to support the (American) citizens?]
(Just to show this could also apply to Americans)
Exactly
The European Union has banned Russian state media in Europe and U.S. companies have made it more difficult to access these media outlets in the U.S., thereby reducing the range of information sources available to the public here in the West......
These exclusions limit the view of the world available to the U.S. public and policymakers, and, by a well-understood and predictable process, they lead to the demonizing and silencing of valuable internal critics whose insights could help to improve the effectiveness of foreign and domestic policy
Your source for an article about Ukraines economy is the state-owned house news service of the country waging war against Ukraine.
Pardon me if I fail to see how this is much more than a Kremlin press release.
Which verses in Daniel are you specifically thinking of?

You don’t have the mental bandwidth to make sense of this article (which contains multiple mainstream linked source material to support its position) so you decided to pull down your shorts and take a poop on it.
Typical neo-lib behavior...your buddy Trudeau would be proud.
Article is nothing but Russian lies
nothing “to process” there, it’s all garbage
Russia is the one who will be hurting this winter ... but of course the article won’t talk about that LOL
I think it’s time for everyone to say screw the Ukraine. AMERICA FIRST!
The article includes reference links from Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal to support its position, and includes quotes from European analysts by name to makes its point.
Your just too dumb to understand it, so you try to tear it down.
Typical shit-lib behavior.
Article defies common sense
EU has an annual GDP of $1.7 trillion
YET we’re supposed to believe that if the EU sends just a few more billion to Ukraine, the whole EU will go bankrupt!!
yes, that’s idiotic lying and I refuse to believe it
It’s fun watching the Russian propaganda slowly give up on the weapons they thought would win this:
* Feb - The Ukrainian people will welcome us as liberators.
* March - That didn’t happen, but our army will crush Ukraine in days
* April - Our army may be crap, but our air superiority will guarantee victory
* July - Our planes have failed, but Russian artillery superiority will prevent any Ukrainian offensives
* Sept - We have so much gas, there is no way Europe can manage without
The Russian’s have lost any hope on a military victory and seem to now be resting all their dreams on European support somehow collapsing.
That's not what the article says at all...for example:
"The EU is facing nothing short of "a continent-wide recession", Bloomberg noted on 28 September, predicting a "harsh winter" for Europe’s households, chemical producers, steel plants, and car manufacturers. "If the coming months turn especially icy and the bloc’s 27 members fail to share scarce fuel supplies efficiently," the European economy could contract by as much as 5 percent, according to the Bloomberg Economics' estimates."
Do you disagree with this analysis?
Lot of “ifs” in there ...
*IF* it’s a tough winter
*IF* EU members don’t share
and what if it ISN’T a tough winter, and what if EU members DO share their resources? Then you’re panicking over nothing
the point is, it’s necessary to end the reliance on Russian resources, because Russia weaponizes them against Europe and is unreliable
Europe will be fine ... they’ve been through a lot worse than this, and it’s only for this one winter ... every winter after will be easier
