All 27 European Union foreign ministers descended on Kyiv on Monday in a historic show of support after the passage of a U.S. funding bill that included no new aid for Ukraine and left future support for the war with Russia in the balance.

The E.U.’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, sought to emphasize the importance of the first meeting of foreign ministers held outside the bloc.

“This joint meeting of European Union foreign ministers with Ukraine in Kyiv should be understood as a clear commitment of the European Union to Ukraine and its continuous support in all dimensions — support for the military, support for a just peace, accountability and working for the membership path,” he told reporters after the meeting.

The visit comes at an especially difficult time for Kyiv and its effort to oust Russian forces 19 months after the invasion, ahead of winter. Its touted offensive has languished despite billions of dollars’ worth of military aid from its Western partners, mostly from Washington.

They can have it.

Rather they can fight Russia for it.

The EU's "historic show of support" did not include any funding or arms for Ukraine.

We can thank Matt Gaetz for putting an end to the blank check to the Ukraine. McCarthy was going to support it, another reason why he’s no longer the Speaker.

I can only imagine the reins Putin was pulling back on to keep his Generals from flattening Kiev just then.

Absolutely!

EU Nations will immediately repatriate all Ukrainian Men Women and Children for immediate service in the AFU infantry units.

Additionally, each one will get a free, EU provided sharp stick!

Nobody’s going to fight anyone. This was part of the plan. Repeat of the old Molotov-Ribbentrop plan to divide Eastern Europe between the two powers, but with bleeding the USA dry this time; all with Biden’s help.

Well, that`s a start. Now they should begin sending arms and ammo to the Ukraine backing their verbal support with action.
