The issue of allocating military and financial aid to Ukraine has divided Europe into the West and the East. The Bloomberg news agency quoted its sources as saying.
According to Bloomberg, Eastern European countries are accusing their Western colleagues of “not listening” to Kiev’s needs. In particular, the question of where to buy artillery ammunition for Kiev and how to replenish it is being hotly debated.
“The mood in diplomatic circles is that if Russia eventually wins the war in Ukraine, Western Europe will not be forgiven and the entire project of European integration after the fall of the Berlin Wall could be jeopardised as this split will be an indelible scar,” the publication said.
A senior unnamed European official told the agency that governments in the West do not realise that if the situation does not change, many eastern European states “will never trust them again”.
We shall remind you that earlier, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and the deputy head of the Verkhovna Rada committee for national security, defence and intelligence, Yegor Chernev, said in an interview with the New York Times that there was a growing fear in Ukraine that the army would soon start losing control over populated areas if Washington delayed the allocation of new military aid to the Ukrainian government.
