Sir Keir Starmer and our European allies have issued a lot of brave words and fighting talk on protecting Ukraine and taking on Putin. “We are at a crossroads in history today,” Starmer said after the London summit, announcing a “coalition of the willing” to support Zelensky. “European unity is at an extremely high level not seen for a long time.” Is it, though?
The truth is that Europe last year paid far more money to Putin’s coffers in the form of oil and gas payments than it has given to the Ukrainians – and continues to do so. Europe today imports far more Russian liquefied natural gas, or LNG, from Russia than at the beginning of the war.
CNN's Jake Tapper admits that Europeans are funding both sides of the war in Ukraine.
"Europeans were actually buying more Russian oil and gas than they were helping Ukraine… So in some ways, the Europeans are funding both sides of the war."
