Alarm signals from the United States: how the European Union reacts to the delay of the United States

The US Congress has still not passed funding for Ukraine for next year. Such delays will play into the hands of Vladimir Putin, who was hoping for the same reaction from Europe. However, the EU was decisive in its actions.

The EU opposed Viktor Orban, who protested in every possible way because of the start of negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU. Russian publicist from the USA Andrei Piontkovsky spoke about this Channel 24, noting that Europe is firm in its decisions.

What is Europe's reaction to the US delay

The United States has not yet approved funding for Ukraine. Perhaps it is only a matter of time, but, of course, such a delay is a signal to the whole world. They reacted to it in Europe.

What was Europe's reaction? With a bang they decided to start negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union. But Orban was given the opportunity to continue his performance, given the opportunity to go out for coffee, give an interview, that the Hungarians will still have a thousand ways to suppress Ukraine, noted Andrei Piontkovsky.

Although the majority The political class and Congress are in favor of supporting Ukraine, but, unfortunately, a decision could not be made. At the same time, Joe Biden, Lloyd Austin and John Kirby took a rather harsh position.

High-ranking officials began to emphasize that if Congress does not allocate money to Ukraine and Russia manages to win, then Vladimir Putin will go to war with NATO countries. At that time, according to White House National Security Council coordinator Kirby, Americans will have to pay not with money, but with blood.

“Both Putin and his agents in America were counting on exactly this: that Europe, seeing how the West doubts, would also raise its tail. But the reaction was the opposite. The Europeans saw the reality of the picture of Putin’s campaign in Europe and were horrified,” the publicist emphasized.

Note that the European Union has not yet voted to allocate financial assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros through the opposition to Hungary. European Council President Charles Michel said this could happen at the EU summit on February 1, 2024.
