BRUSSELS (AP) — European Union lawmakers voted on Tuesday to deepen integration of the bloc’s defense industry with Ukraine as a U.S. peace plan remains in flux and Russia’s unconventional warfare operations rattle the 27-nation bloc. European Parliament legislators voted 457-148, with 33 abstentions, to approve a 1.5-billion euro ($1.7 billion) program, with 300 million euros ($345 million) slated for the Ukraine Support Instrument. Raphaël Glucksmann, an EU lawmaker from France’s S&D party, said that the defense program “will enable us to build a more resilient and sovereign Europe” through partnering with Ukraine to build a cutting-edge military industrial complex. “This is key to making sure we can protect our democracies effectively and autonomously,” he said.

1.7 billion is a joke for a war this scale.
Euro-jesters clowning again.
They need a forever war to keep their economies from collapsing, forcing them out of power,
Simple as that.
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Go ahead. Keep on digging your economic graves!
Go ahead. Keep on digging your economic graves!
They can drown. Should Russia benefit?
The only way to keep the damage in check is for the European Union to prepare for war over a 20 year period starting now. Do it without US help.
The EU doesn’t have magnets either.
is for the European Union to prepare for war over a 20 year period...
The Western Europeans can get all the defense ‘goodies’
provided by the US they want.(As long as they pay up front.)
When was the last time these freeloaders showed any capabilities for their own defense or offense, against their enemies?
None
They’ll follow the peace plan laid before them, because they’re weak nations & extremely dependent on the power & prestige of the United States.
They’ll “pop off” diplomaticly in protest, then they’ll start making business deals with Russia & Ukraine for their future.
“The EU is fracturing, bankrupt, taken over by socialists, and aliens. They have at best five years left.No tears, the EU is more of a threat to us than Russia ever was.”
ROTFLMAO!
In 2024 you predicted that the US had TWO years left and by now we would be in the middle of a civil war.
Take your predictions and shove the.
The Ukrainian defense industry is probably the fourth largest in the world and often quite skilled.
Particulars matter, especially when dealing in Ukraine.
