On May 27, the European Council rubber-stamped the “ReArmEurope” program, whose first step is a €150 billion loan instrument for member states – and for Ukraine — camouflaged under the acronym SAFE (Security Action For Europe).

On May 20, the European Council, made up of the leaders of the 28 member states, approved the 17th package of EU sanctions against Russia.

Predictably, Western propaganda is turning a defeat into victory. Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s acceptance of negotiations with Russia – those same negotiations he had prohibited by law – is presented as an about-face made possible by the success of the Western sanctions on Russia. “Putin has lost the war”, talking heads and politicians repeat like parrots, heedless of the military reality on […]

“Strengthening the Bundeswehr is the top priority in our own policy.
