LOS ANGELES *OC).–European Union [EU] officials met at the Elysee Palace in Paris to develop a coalition of the willing for missile defense, actually using Ukraine as a security consultant for all its experience in the Feb. 24, 2022 Ukraine War. Increasing Russian liquefied natural gas 16%, the EU now buys 10 million tons of natural gas from Russia, despite ending the Nordstream 2 pipeline built in a 11 billion ion euro joint project between Russia and Germany. How ironic that Ukraine, though denying it, was responsible for blowing up the Nordstreram 2 pipeline in 2022, yet, todqay buys more natural gas than ever from Russian President Vladimir Putin. EU officials, led by French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz support proxy war with the Kremlin, handing Ukraine billions in euros to prosecute the war.
Sending 136 tankers to the EU, Putin has increased sales of liquefied natural gas to the EU, despite the ongoing proxy war where Brussels spends over $200 billion euros on Ukraine to proxecute proxy war with the Kremlin while, simultaneously, denouncing Putin for prosecu;ting the war, creating carnage and infrastructure damage in Ukraine. “Targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and civilian sites on an unprecedented sacale whil Europe continued to import more thqt 55,000 tones of LNG from Yamal every single day on average,” said Sebastian Rotters from the Energy Group Urgewarld. Raising the hypocrisy of it all doesn’t begin to show the outrageous antics of the EU, pretending to support Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Volodymyr Zelensk who wants the EU to cut all ties with Russia. Zelenssky once got into a heated exchange with Presidetn Donald Trump in 2025.
Zelensky couldn’t accept the fact that Trump was seeking to improve diplomatic relations with the Kremlin after former President Joe BIdne spen his four years antagonizing Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whatever one thinks of the Ukraine War, Zelensky sees himself in an existential battle with the Kremlin, looking to the EU to fund proxy war with Russia. Zelensky now advocates leading the defensive shield for the EU claiming Ukraine has more experience with the war. Well, if thaqt’s true, then why has Zelensky lost over 20% of Ukraine’s best sovereign land with the Kremlin? Putin and former German Chancellor Angela Merkel collaboratge in the Norstream 2 pipeleine tu supply the EU with generations of LNG at affordable prices. EU’s leaders now see Russia as an adversary,no longer an enemy supplying cheap natural gas.
Trump has given Zelensky and the EU every opportunity to end the Ukraine War, that services no one other than Zelensky. Zelensky take billions from the EU not only to support the Ukraine War but to pay for the bankrupt Kiev government. Zelensky can afford to pay his own salary and civil servants without the EU. Yet when it comes to the war with Russia, the EU continues to expand by 16% LNG sales to Brussels. If the EU took Trump’s peace plan seriously, it would no longer have to pay the exorbitant sums to keep Ukraine afloat. Zelensky says he has no autoriity to cede any land to Putin to end the war, claiming the Ukrainian parliament must authorize the expenditure. Well, Zelensky has also said it can’t cede any land to Russia unless specifically authorized by the Ukrainian Constitution. Well, with that attitude, it’s no wonder Zelensky won’t end the war.
Zelensky has a good job to the EU of demonizing Putin, claiming he had no right ot invade Ukraine Feb. 24, 2022, when, in fact, former President Joe Biden kept arming Ukraine over Kremlin objections. Putin moved the Red Army into Ukraine to let the West know he wouldn’t compromise Russian natonal security. Over for years later, the U.S. under Trump doesn’t support proxy war with the Kremlin, something that hasn’t stopped the EU from subsidizing the bankrupt Kiev government. Zelensky rejected Trump’s peace plan because it was vetted with Putin and would end the war. Zelensky wants to collect as much EU cash as he can get so he doesn’t have to negotiate and end the war. Zelensky’s idea of compromise involves telling Putin to give back all the sovereign land he’s seized in over four years of war, something unacceptable to Putin.
Where’s all the outrage in Zelensky over Brussels buying gargantuan amounts on LNG fdrom Russia, essentially funding the war that Zelensky claims he wants to win? Zelensky once bolted out of the Oval office in 2025 at the mere suggestion that Trump wanted to mend diplomatic relations with the Kremlin. Zelensky gladly takes all the cash to pay his battered Kiev economy. Trump gave Putin and Zelensky the perfect way o ut of the Ukraine War, much the same way he’s made Iran a fair offer to end the Iran War. Zelensky can’t have ti both ways,, rejecting Trump’s peace plan and, the same time, accepting billions in euros to pay for his government and war with the Kremlin. Increasing LNG sales with Brussels shows tha Brussels has no reason not buy the cheapest LNG around. Zelensky shows no outrage in Brussels because he needs the EU cash.
