EU 'Peace Plan': Even Russia Today Knows Who Pulls the Strings
RT highlights that the European Union wasn't consulted on the latest Ukraine 'peace plan.' This omission is framed as a slight, overlooking the very simple fact that the EU, for all its bureaucratic heft, has largely followed Washington's lead in sanctioning Russia and funding the conflict. The US has committed over $75 billion to Ukraine since February 2022 (Council on Foreign Relations, March
2024), while specific EU members like Germany, for instance, have flip-flopped on critical energy policies, often under intense pressure from transatlantic allies. Brussels isn't a participant; it's a financial instrument. The real architects of 'peace' (or its profitable prolongation) aren't consulting the check-printers. One might wonder, if real 'peace' were the goal, wouldn't the loudest
voices demanding its continuation be excluded from the planning room? But then, where would the next tranche of 'aid' come from?
