The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

It couldn't come at a better time, given that Trump has basically abandoned Ukraine. That's typical Trump, he abandoned the Kurds and now Ukraine. If there's nothing in it for him, they're just suckers.

Hopefully it will give Ukraine what it needs to defend from fascist aggressor.
They're calling it a "loan," but Ukraine only pays it back if Russia agrees to pay huge amounts of reparations. Since that will never happen, it means that the EU is handing over free money.
There's some question of how long they will be willing to keep this up.
At least two years. More willing than Trump was to keep it up.

Long enough to outlast a state whose own officials are afraid of repeat of 1917 revolution I would say.

Looks like our Russian troll opposes the WWII lend and lease program. I mean the US helping both UK and CCCP to defend themselves against german aggression.
He seems to think this would have ended WWII earlier. He may be even right. Why trying to completely defeat an invasion, when your can get away early with "minor" territorial concessions? Why help Ukraine defeat Russian invasion, when you can start integrating it into EU and NATO early by making it give up some territory.
It just does not make sense.
