  Loving the stance the West has had since the war started. Showing real solidarity. 
  All Russia is really doing is weakening their own nation. Pretty sad to have such an old superpower ground down to a stump because you have a giant man-baby running things.

  The EU has pledged to double a military aid programme for Ukraine by training an extra 15,000 soldiers as part of a blizzard of announcements aimed at showing that it will "Stand by Ukraine for the long-haul".
  This €45m plan comes alongside a further €500m in EU-funded weapons for Ukraine announced on Thursday, taking the total assistance from the bloc under the European peace facility to €3.6bn. On the eve of the EU visit to Kyiv, Ukraine said Russia was planning a major military offensive to mark the first anniversary of the war.
  Among a blizzard of announcements, Von der Leyen said the EU would be supplying Ukraine with 35m LED lightbulbs, 2,400 generators on top of 3,000 already delivered and promised funding for solar panels to power the country's public buildings.
