Asked about the potential impact of Europe's unfolding cost of living and energy crises on support for Ukraine, Von der Leyen said supporting Ukraine "comes at a high cost, but our freedom, the international peace order, and democracy, is priceless."

Supporting Ukraine comes at a high cost, but freedom is "priceless," European Commission chief Urszula Von der Leyen said on Thursday amid soaring inflation and high energy prices in Europe.

The EU's sanctions on Russia are having a deep and visible impact, European Commission President Urszula Von der Leyen told Reuters at an interview in Kyiv, shortly after she met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Unless you're Hungarian, or anyone else bucking diktats from Brussels.

The EU getting desperate from their internal problems which are growing daily and resorting to fanning the flames of war.

“This is a war against our energy, a war against our economy, a war against our values, a war against our future. And I stand here with the conviction that with courage and solidarity, Putin will fail, Europe will triumph. Europe’s solidarity with Ukraine will remain unwavering. And I want to make it clear that sanctions against Russia will remain in place until its economy is torn apart. Now is the time for determination, not peace.”

Eurowench stand up comic thinks Ukraine is a free country.

Anything and everything coming from the EU is either evil, dumb or both.

George Soros intends to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life, if necessary.

“...our freedom, the international peace order, and democracy, is priceless.”

In order for the EU to be free and have democracy they obviously have to have “pride” rammed down the throats of the little people, traditional values must be beaten down, the EU member countries have to continue being run by deep staters, etc. /s

“International peace order”: Globalism. And Biden used those same three words in a speech given by him.

Freedom is priceless but Zelensky will not allow dissenters to his iron-fisted rule ANY freedom of protest or dissent.

The Eurotrashians keep throwing the word freedom around - while they smash down countries that actually engage in it.

This nasty, propagandist globo-skank-thing is exactly why America need to disassociate with Europe altogether.

Their swirling the bowl and taking us with them.

That’s right. Zelenskyy abolished any opposition political party and established a hit list with Rand Paul and Tulsi Gabbard on it.

Europe has plenty of oil, gas, and coal. Now they have a reason to drill, tap, and mine it.
