Politico: the EU is considering another €40 billion\ for Ukraine. The decision will be made at the NATO summit in Ankara in July. The proposal comes from Germany. Sweden is in favor. The proposal is also meant to ensure parity in the contributions of EU countries\\, which are currently funding Ukraine disproportionately, with the Scandinavian and Baltic countries contributing the most.

Go ahead. This is exactly the right time to cement Ukraine’s success on the battlefield and in long-range strikes.

\Yes, I see that the headline says €70 billion. In reality, €30 billion of that is part of the €90 billion loan allocated in December and unblocked by Hungary in May, which they simply want to shift from one basket to another. The new money being proposed there is €40 billion. Which is still a fuckload.

\\Yes, I see that it says NATO there. America is not going to contribute anything, so it seems stupid to me to keep calling this NATO. It’s not NATO, it’s the EU + Britain, Norway, and Canada. Or maybe NATO-, but that term hasn’t entered common usage yet.
