Britain ​is set to enter talks to join the European Union's 78 billion ‌pound loan ($106 billion) to Ukraine, the government said on Sunday, in a further sign of deepening European defence ties under rising U.S. pressure.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected on Monday to tell ​a summit in Armenia's capital Yerevan of the European Political Community - a discussion ​forum set up after Russia's invasion in 2022 - that Britain wants ⁠to work with the EU to support Ukraine in getting vital military equipment, his ​office said.

The politicians will get the money back, not the people.

The ISW site seems to indicate the war is now pointless militarily.

But useful otherwise, since Russia - an enemy of every Western country - is slowly running itself into the ground with losses of men and money ...

It's getting to the point where the Russian economy may never be able to recover, there just won't be enough able-bodied workers left after this self-inflicted carnage

"Pootin's legacy", lol

I hate to break it to you snow Mexican but I trust the Russians more than I do creepy commie Canadians. At least they’re not free-riding, backstabbing bitches.

Sounds like a plan to me, and perhaps a bonus, if they buy arms from us. Let the cheapskate Europeans help themselves.

The UK should be fighting it’s own invasion but if they want to throw money at Ukraine, it’s their problem.

Of note, no money has yet been sent.

It’s “approved”, but not allocated nor delivered.

Assad trusted Russia too ... how did that work out for him?

Go ahead, trust a murderous dictatorship ... that says a lot about you and your level of gullibility

You notice how the EuroTrash are submitting a LOAN to Ukraine, while at the same time expecting (actually demanding) that the USA GIVE away for free $200 billion to Ukraine.

The sooner the EU collapses the better. /spit

Seems fair, send granny to the suicide factory so we can pay for Ukraine’s war.

Still like the Russians more than snow-Mexicans. Still feeling all superior with your economy crashing? Do you feel pride at your communist leaders trying to butt heads with America and going down the toilet doing so?
