  1. I don’t know what the journalist thought the point of asking her about German and French feet dragging on commitment fulfilment was. The President of the Commission is obviously never going to criticise a Council member state in exercising its sovereign foreign policy, especially when it’s not through an EU scheme. Those are questions which need to be put to Macron and Schulz. Ask her about EU programmes and then you’ll get a meaningful response.

    1. The Poles supported the “flash mob” for the collection of BAYKAR for Ukraine

      The collection trend inspired Europe so much that now the Poles have begun to collect them. They set themselves a deadline of 30 days to collect for 1 drone. Currently, more than 30 thousand zlotys out of 4 and a half million have been collected.💯

    2. €16Bln, shelter families, refugees, EU candidacy. UA used of Rus equipment. NATO equip also needs a steep learningcurve. US, UK not to forget.

    3. Typical journalism. Horror, crap, pain, and tragedy sell. Read your Benjamin Franklin. The gal interviewing just wants to make a buck. Follow the money – but support Ukraine.

    4. All the journalists do it, every day. Makes one wonder. In addition to what you say, I note that Scholz, right after his trip to Kiev, reiterated his support and the will of Germany to make sacrifices for freedom, its allies and friends. Macron also walked his ‘negotiate with Putin’ line back during the same visit with Scholz, and and now has said that “Russia cannot and should not win this war.” They return to the same questions, no matter what else has been said, on every video, every day.

    1. Stephen King also reacted to the shelling of the mall in Kremenchug:

      “Russian strikes on Ukrainian civilian targets are essentially terrorist attacks. Glory to Ukraine!” King said on Twitter.

      The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine replied to the writer in the comments:

      “Stephen, the Russians are worse than any monster in your novels…”.🚯

  2. 04:01 Damn, she must be an elected official from right here in the US. She’s avoided answering that question like a CHAMP!

    1. Bipolar from Rashis freaks:

      The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that in the city of Kremenchug, the Russian Aerospace Forces attacked hangars with weapons and ammunition received from the United States and European countries.
      “The fire in the non-functioning shopping center in Kremenchug occurred due to the detonation of ammunition for Western weapons stored nearby at the factory”

      Schizophrenia from Lavrov:

      “The Russian side has nothing to do with the incident in Kremenchug and will assist our Ukrainian colleagues in the investigation and search for those responsible for the fire in the shopping center.”
      🚯🚷🚷🚷🚷🆘🆘

    1. Bleeding in anticipation of the promised supply of weapons, the Ukrainian army is the only combat-ready NATO army today capable of defending the entire alliance. All the rest, led by the Secretary General, unanimously “avoid escalation at any cost”⚰️⚰️⚰️🔪🔪🔪🔪💤💤💤💤💤

  3. The European Union is an Economic and Political Confederation; Military Interventions are up to the National Governments of its Member States. IOW, “it doesn’t work that way, there;” the EU is not the UN nor US Congress, they’re not going to declare War on Russia. EU ‘Support’ is and will remain limited to Economic Actions, Foreign Aid, and taking in Refugees.

    1. @Alan McGowan The EU Parliament or European Commission as a whole, or Individual Citizens or Member-State Governments of the EU? It doesn’t look anything like a clearcut situation from the US, might be different for those closer to Ukraine or elsewhere in the Eastern Hemisphere.

    2. The European Union does not need its own army because it has the army of the European Union members. Although they do want and are planning on having a European Union army, that have a European Union uniform. They already have markings on military equipment that has the European Union flag ( it was opposed by Britain before they left the European union ). They also want a European Union police force. They have a European Union court “Court of Justice of the European Union ( CJEU ).” Each member of the European Union must abide the ruling of this CJEU. ( It is so undemocratic it is amazing that it was allowed ).

    3. Interesting new development. My theory for the security,prosperity and insuring of liberty for the ”’ Collective Of North American & Western Civilization” best at this Point In Time.

      Good News is that Eye Love You. Calling for an immediate ceasefire !

      That stated, read the following thrice carefully and and please only discerning, wise and questioning persons respond : Back in October 2019, as a World Peace Advocate, Independent Student Scholar of History, Geopolitics, Wars & Civilizations and Independent Security Analyst and Theorist HAD concluded that we ( North America, NATO member countries and THE WEST) are on a path towards WW3 due to the US-CHINA TRADE WAR begun by the Trump Administration back in early 2018, The Arrest of the CFO of Huawei Meng Whenzou by the RCMP in Canada in order to honor an extradition treaty with the USA, other geopolitical events, & the historical event known as Pearl Harbor. Concluding as an Independent Thinker, Analyst and Philosopher that we ( Humanity ) are on a Path Towards WW3 HAD created, designed & made a New Training Program produced to go hand in hand with a WW3 scenario. Thus, October 17 2019 HAD performed the 1st session of the General War Integrated Total Body Training System aka The 300 Workout integrated & in parallel to a near future timeline witch was the WW3 scenario. 93 Days later, the COVID 19 Crisis Began ! In parallel to my WW3 scenario witch is caused by a Stock Market Crash witch consequently triggers a Global Financial Collapse the Coronavirus began. Not sure what caused Covid believe it was snakes but cannot rule out another possibility. What do know is my scenario HAD a solution the creation of a New Institution : The International Citizen Integrated Social Security Force aka The Dragon Army witch am calling for the creation. Tell the Leaders of the Free World Dragon Zero’s Message : Drop Down and give Dragon 13 pushups with Love & For The Sake of World Peace.

      What say ye ? Will you join the Dancing Goddess & Dragon Kingdom for World Peace ? Can u support, volunteer, bless & love Adrian Hannah Dragon’s World Peace Work ?

  4. She dodged answering the question on the reluctance of Germany and France to supply the weapon to Ukraine.

    1. ​@Brett K read my answer to Brain Jesustree, then you might get “sharias” point in a wider context.

  5. France and Germany has sent heavy weapons and €6 billion Euro, UK only has lent not given
    £565 million

  6. Too many of Little Man Pootin’s propogandists commenting on this article, must have hit a sensitive nerve or two.

  7. High priestess lost her mind. Her leash is being hold by the same monsters who hold the clowns at g7 meeting.

  8. That is right that Democratic Nations united much more stronger.to help Ukraine to self-defend their own territory .

    1. Exactly – this is known as avoidance behavior – talking heads are well trained not to answer questions.

  9. Yes CNN as started to ask the right question it shows that she does not know what the hell she is talking about
