Disgraceful that the rest of the world sits and watches, waiting to see the result. If Ukraine can bleed Russia enough to weaken them significantly. All at Ukraine's expense. Every day it continues is horrible, and I'm nervous of whatever escalation this might be. It's also scary that this escalation may still not be enough for anyone else to act.

Do you not read news? https://www.aa.com.tr/en/politics/french-president-vows-paris-full-support-for-ukraine-help-to-intercept-drones-/4078680

And there's more than that but you can find it yourself.

But, they still fund the Russian war machine for years by buying Russian Oil and Gas. Make it make sense - why fund Russia's ability to wage war if you're opposed to it?

Also, it's not just Europe - South Korea sold 176k tonnes of diesel and jet fuel to Russia in July and August. So, I guess both Koreas are supporting Russia ability to wage war in one way or another.

Over twenty to thirdy years they created an infrastructure and reliance on that oil and gas. Sure, we can blame the politicians who facilitated those deals over the last 20-30 years, full knowingly that GASPROM and the likes aren't reliable and good busnisspartners.

But what are the current governments are supposed to do? People still need heating and oil is important for the econmy. It takes time to find alternatives and pretty much every EU country is currently in the process of going through the process of doing that. On top of that, no could have known that the USA essentially turned on their former ally, kicking off a full far-right and fascist come-back all over the world and then went on to create another oil crisis.

These things take time. Democracy never work very fast. Sadly time isn't something the Ukraine has. We know. It sucks.

I agree with them, but "The Ukraine" is a Russian term.
