European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday touted that newly prepared EU sanctions will "make the Kremlin pay" for conducting its "sham" referendums in occupied Ukraine. Russian media the evening prior declared a sweep in favor of four regions joining the Russian Federation - including Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. President Putin is expected to announce their integration into Russia in a Friday speech.
"We do not accept the sham referenda and any kind of annexation in Ukraine, and we are determined to make the Kremlin pay for this further escalation," von der Leyen told a scheduled press briefing in Brussels.
Amazing how so many deride every single dollar given to aid actual US citizens in need but praise the billions being wasted in some corrupt shithole
I think you are severely underestimating the greed and corruption that could continue in Ukraine if several multi-national companies and investment funds decided it was a good place for long term large returns. The EU will not be around in 20 years imo. Germany is losing its grip on power due to its own idiocy. It would be a perfect time to "start over" in untapped areas.
These are not coming from current stocks but brand new built from the factory so it'll be awhile before they get to Ukraine. I think the factory they are built at is in Alabama somewhere.
