#Belgium will allocate a €1 billion defence aid package to #Ukraine - #Belgian Prime Minister #Bart_De_Wever.

Thank you, #Belgium! 🇧🇪🇺🇦

#Bart_De_Wever added that they plan to provide a minimum of €1 billion in bilateral military aid every year.

Representatives of 10 #Belgian defence companies also arrived in #Kyiv to discuss joint weapons production and investments in manufacturing in #Ukraine. #Ukrainian side reached three agreements with #Belgian producers – President #Zelenskyy.

The constraint is simply lack of money, which #Kyiv hopes allies will assist with, the publication says.

#Ukraine is already covering about half of its arms needs, former Defence Minister #Andrii_Zahorodniuk. #Russia's strikes do not seem to be affecting this progress. "Some facilities have been hit five times or more, but they survive," Mr #Zahorodniuk says.

This year, #Ukraine expects to produce 5 million FPV drones that dominate the battlefield, compared with 2 million last year.

🇺🇦 Before embarking on a #humanitarian volunteer trip to #Ukraine, I sent a package of Cat 7 tourniquets from the United States, along with a U.S. flag 🇺🇸, knowing they could save lives and send a message of solidarity. Recently, I received news that the package has reached its destination and is now on its way to the heroes on the frontline.

✨Join in supporting Ukraine. Together, our collective efforts can create positive change.

I just think #TheEconomist is #discrediting itself by #platforming #MAGA #bullshit that even 5th graders can callout as #Kindergarten-esque #mobbing.

It's pretty much absurd to do so without seriously interrogating whether the #Trump regime actually knows the shit it does or whether this is just a #dismantling operation by #AgentKrasnov to enshure #Putin gets what he wants.

Tho in the meantime it only resulted in the #EU coming closer together and #Europe finding resolve against #Russia, with both #NATO and EU becoming stronger than before...

  • Granted the #USA already lost it's credibility in 2012 when Putin invaded #Crimea and the #BudapestMemorandum was violated #consequences-free instead of #BootsOnTheGround by the #US, #UK and #France and the current support for #Kyiv is the absolute bare minimum to avoid the political suicide that are flagged coffins returning home since in #Europe - unlike the USA - going to war isn't guaranteed to get elected, but rather will tank ratings (as it should be)!

Again: #REFORUSA is an act of self- and mutual defense at this point!
