Eastern border regions are not only national borders.

They are European borders.

Today, we proposed a strategy to support the EU regions bordering Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine.

Since Russia launched its war of aggression against Ukraine, they have been under growing economic and security pressure.

The strategy helps keep people safe, supports local economies, improves roads, energy and internet connections, and backs communities across these regions.

@EUCommission Yes!!! Let's keep getting armed up, and escalating the threat of war and the death of millions....after all, look at the bonuses this will bring:

'The strategy helps keep people safe, supports local economies, improves roads, energy and internet connections, and backs communities across these regions.'

Really.? You can't do it now....Fuck off and rattle your sabres somewhere else.

@Oyu_Fka lol escalating what exactly? What has the EU done that's escalated the war? Do you know what escalation means?

@Oyu_Fka doesn't answer my question and insults me instead. Your behaviour speaks for yourself.

@EugenioLiberoBocca Your question was 'do I know what escalation means?'....I answered 'yes', and *then* I insulted you, lol! Maybe you struggle with your english?

Tbh, your rudeness in your initial comment showed me I don't need to interact with a tankie fascist. Just because we don't agree, do you think you can change my mind by insulting me? Come the revolution....prick 🙂.

@Oyu_Fka i'm not a tankie and most definitely not a fascist. One thing is disagreement based on the same set of facts, another is spreading blatant disinformation. The EU hasn't escalated the war in any way or form.
My goal wasn't insulting you and I'm sorry if you felt offended.

@EugenioLiberoBocca I think we are talking at crossed purposes - you talk about the 'war', so I'm guessing you refer to Ukraine?

I wasn't....I was talking about the trump-based paranoia in the EU that the russians are coming.

I wholeheartedly support Ukraine in their struggle - but imho it would be far better that the EU spent their money on help for Ukraine, and not building up their own armaments.

That's what I mean by escalation.

Lastly, my apologies for my rudeness. Sorry.

@Oyu_Fka alright my bad for misunderstanding, apologies. Yet, I don't think the two things can be seen separately. Europe is at a crossroads: either we develop our own capabilities (including, eventually, credible nuclear deterrence), or we become vassals of others who do.
As Canadian PM put it: those who are not at the table, will be on the menu.

@EugenioLiberoBocca Europe *is* at a crossroads....thanks to all previous USA administrations, as well as this one.

America used Europe in their proxy war with russia ever since the Berlin Wall came down.

Europe didn't line russia's border with NATO armaments.No, various USA administrations with their overall control of NATO did.

As usual, trump sees money to be made, so he walks away....but they're happy to sell us the arms to 'defend ourselves'.

Reform NATO minus the USA.
