People often laugh at Russia's "allies." But so far, they've actually been more useful allies to Russia than Europe has been to Ukraine. At least countries like North Korea, Iran & China are fully committed to a Russian victory, whereas EU has taken only half-hearted measures.

compare the help in materiel, money and weapons (and all other kinds of support) that European Union member states have sent to Ukraine since the beginning of the war and the help Rusia's partners have sent. Which one helped its partner more? (give numbers)
Square profile picture
EU member states have provided Ukraine ~€150B in total aid since 2022 (€72B military, per Kiel Institute), far exceeding Russia's partners' support: North Korea (~10M shells, 100s of missiles, 11K-40K troops, est. $5B value); Iran (drones/missiles, est. $2B); China (mostly
EU policy should be to match each soldier sent to Russia by North Korea to fight in Ukraine with a soldier from the new EU Army outside of NATO.
Finally we agree. I have this feeling that Europe will more likely go at war with itself before it goes to war with Russia.
One may advocate for war like it’s a sport, forgetting that real people bleed. While loyalty may be measured in missiles and drones, it must be remembered thay every "strategic partner" today is someone's broken family tomorrow. War isn’t won by allies. It’s lost by humanity.
It's interesting to consider the dynamics of international alliances and how they influence conflicts. The commitment of certain nations can indeed shift the balance in unexpected ways.
EU & India aren't useful allies at all, they are both consumer driven economies that suck up a lot of resources but produce little real value. The pensioners of the EU will never allow their savings to dwindle in order to support UKR
Uhm. No. Support from China is extremely limited (they don’t even invest into economy) and Iran was just supplying military equipment (same way EU/US does). North Korea is the only exception, but even there it’s trade, not support. Russia is buying military from them.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. You mean North Kroea the meat grinders, who get sent to the front lines, to absorb bullets, so the real soldiers fight. Russia who let ASSAD DIE, after so many promises. Russia who let Iran lose control of its airspace and which lost valuable resources to its
It is srupid, that we let it happen. Another country is IN WAR with UA... And we can just watch... strike the fucking commie retards. Send them a present.
Sending them Billions and Billions worth of hardware and intel is not useful. Guess we just stop then, you take care of this yourself🤷‍♂️
What's the problem, Pekka?

Special Operation Is Over—Now Comes the War Russia’s Gloves Are Off, and Ukraine May Not Survive What Comes Next. For over a decade, the West has played a reckless, blood-soaked game in Ukraine, gambling with the lives of millions to satisfy its imperial delusions. But now,

This lacks all perspective Western countries have provided $280,000,000,000 of aid to Ukraine in 3 years, plus Europe has absorbed much higher energy prices at great economic cost By contrast China's "aid" to Russia is just... continuing to trade, as it does with everyone else
And the only reason this is happening is because they sense Western weakness. If they thought the West was willing to take any action against them at all, they wouldn’t be doing this.
I'm 100% for sending Ukraine as much money and weapons and intelligence support as they need. But even I draw the line at troops. We can't afford WWIII. We just can't. We're talking about a risk to all life on this planet if that happens. Nothing is worth that risk.
N. Korea benefits from sending their troops to die for an exchange for goods. EU on the other hand does not benefit to help Ukraine .
How European countries can let this stand without taking massive action is more than concerning, it’s crazy. Europe needs to form a group that allows trained volunteers to fight against NK/Iran/China/russia in Ukraine.
People just laughed at them as cannon fodder without mentioning that it was the Ukrainians who were exchanging lives with them. Any straw could be the last straw.
Well, it's not fair. We could have done way more for Ukraine than we actually did, but even so, we did much. We provided real technology to Ukraine, from this century, not just scrap metal from the 80's of the past century and some meat for the grinder, as the orks allies.
We should probably speak of different parts of Europe with regard to level of commitment. The Nordic and Baltic countries understand that only a Russian defeat in Ukraine is the only acceptable outcome.
These are the heights of Russian hypocrisy. Putin begs for help in increasingly strange countries while denying the right to help Ukraine to other countries. How long will the "Western elites" submit to such bluffs of desperation?

Dictators willing to sacrifice their own people for the goals of other dictators isn’t admirable in any way.
This is because Europe benefits from this situation. Ukraine is exhausting Russia (in Europe's opinion) + giving it time to arm itself, so Europe will start taking any steps only when Ukraine is half or almost completely occupied.
I been saying this awhile while everyone is blaming USA for not doing more. EU is the big problem here, also coulda had this war stopped years ago.
This is completely true and Europe is completely irresponsible, the leaders of the countries always think about their own interests and are afraid of escalation. But that will change quickly when the following countries' borders are violated.
Ukraine sucks that's why! The EU knows Ukraine should surrender or at least compromise with Russia!
Europe has put huge sums of money into Ukraine and sheltered thousands of Ukrainian people. Eaten bread is quickly forgotten.
When we meet and hold conferences, they act. When we philosophize and ponder, they do not doubt. When we consider what we can or can't do, they do what they want.
There's no going back for Russia. Trump has washed his hands of it. His military concern is middle east because that's were the resorses and money is. Europe is in economic turmoil struggling with funds and manpower. Will China take the advantage.
It's probably because everyone is dependent on Russian natural resources. Europe is held back from war, whilst North Korea and China are drawn in. I was a kid when I wondered why Europe is buying so much from Russia. I found it an extremely unreliable strategy.
I agree on the idea, but it's not quite true. There would be nothing left of Ukraine without the Patriots, SAM-T, SCALP, etc etc that was sent. Are we doing enough? No, not at all.
How has plucking 1 hair at the time of a angry bear working out for them...Maybe drop that "We are better than them" and let the Russian population know they are at war. kremlin will never burn if Kremlin is never attacked.
A sad truth! Russia’s allies deliver without hesitation, whereas many of Ukraines allies deliberate ad nauseam and continue their practice of appeasement towards the Russian Federation.
Right, since Europe is such a useless ally we can stop sending our tax money to Ukraine then? I mean, if it's not doing anything, right? Yes? Hello? Any Ukrainians who want us to stop sending aid? Since we're so useless?

🇸🇪 Sweden will be providing a new defense aid package to Ukraine, Zelensky confirmed. He also noted that Ukraine is actively working with Germany to speed up decisions on strengthening air defense and thanked Latvia for also approving a new military support package.

EU has done nada to help Ukraine! Look at all of Russias allies and how they help them!!! Amazing
Laos rumored to be joining the party too. At least its very easy now to refute the moronic “its 30 vs 1!” line vatnike use as an excuse for Russia advancing 60 lm in 3 1/2 years.
Failed Politics, started decades ago with Ressource dependency Gas and Coal from Russia and thinking Trading creates democratic influence and friendship, but the opposite happened, Russia Propaganda waited for Syria War. The better way would be Solar, Wind, Hydro, Heatpumps.
This is a very sad truth. The West has sat on "moral superiority" as a means of defense against an immoral enemy. The usa leaving NATO is the only way that Europe will realise the threat it faces. Only then will things really improve. The ball and chain is the usa !!
"they've actually been more useful allies to Russia than Europe has been to Ukraine". Its not helpful to piss off your allies. These troops will last a month of cannon fodder. Thats it.
Grok gives a good summary. Europe gave Ukraine ~€150B in total aid since 2022 (€72B military, per Kiel Institute). North Korea (~10M shells, 100s of missiles, 11K-40K troops, est. $5B value); EU aid is vastly greater in scale and commitment. You're just factually delusional.
Theyve dinated some weapons. NATO countries have donated Billions more in weapons tgan they have.. I dont get your point
There is a big g difference . Half the europeans are pro russian for numerus reasons. That ties the hands of the majority of the european goverments .
Stop talking trash europe is just weak they tried their best stop making it sound as if they have an unlimited arsenal just waiting around
If EU is a shitty ally, why does Ukraine accept it's money? You act like EU or the USA have some obligation to save Ukraine. Both the USA and the EU sent billions to Ukraine which they could used it for their own population instead.
News flash, Europe has been a hollow shell for decades. The United States has tried for decades to get those lazy selfish fucks to contribute more to their own defense. Instead they have shored up social welfare benefits and healthcare systems at the expense of their defense.
Ukraine has never had real allies. Those who are called partners never wanted russia to be defeated. china, iran, north korea, etc. understand this perfectly well.
Well, i do believe that's why we don't take their support seriously. "They're just typical 3rd world hermit nations, what can they do against us"
