      As for Germany they are undermining the fight for Ukrainian borders because of their love of Russian oil ad gas.

      WTF? Are you making that shit up or are you that misinformed?

        There have been growing reports of industrial pressure to have the fuel form part of an agreement to encourage Russia which is capitulation.

          You can always find someone pressuring for anything. I’m not a huge fan of the incoming government coalition but there’s no doubt of their support for Ukraine. They are currently negotiating how far they will extend the support, nobody is talking about reducing it - at least not in the negotiating parties.

          The only thing called into question is the extent of monetary support for Ukrainian refugees. They currently have a similar status to EU citizens, there are talks to reduce that status to the same level as other refugees. We’ll see what the results of the negotiations will be.

            I do prefer the incoming leader to the existing one, despite the rise of the right the leadershop change is welcome. It has been mentioned a few times, the telegraph have covered it as well as economics and political podcasters. Good to knsow it isnt likely but a cause for concern none the less.
