Italy and France's "scepticism" blocks major EU aid package for Ukraine, Spiegel says (www.pravda.com.ua)

Spiegel reported that French and Italian officials had expressed scepticism about providing significant funding to support Kyiv, citing Paris and Rome's large public debts as a key concern.

The newspaper also reports that Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and French President Emmanuel Macron aim to take a leading role in EU negotiations with the United States. However, the proposal for a new support package, put forward by the EU's diplomacy chief, Kaja Kallas, appears to contradict this ambition.

Everyone is just wasting time wanting to put all the responsibility on the US and not take any themselves when it's clear the US is done taking any responsibility here.

Ukraine is fucked with allies like these.

Britain and to a lesser extent Germany seem to be taking it somewhat seriously.

you know when you'll know any european country is "taking it seriously", it's when they march troops into ukraine to create a human bullwark, before the americans land, and failing to do that, it's lost
