Since invading its neighbor on February 24, Russia has received over €50 billion from Europe, more than ten times what the West has provided in cash and equipment to Ukraine. No European in their right mind should want to continue financing Putin’s war.
WASHINGTON, DC – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently accused the West of fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. This is inaccurate and misleading. In fact, the West is supporting both sides of this conflict – and Russia is by far the main beneficiary. Since launching its invasion, Russia has received over €50 billion ($52.7 billion) from Europe, more than ten times what the West has provided in cash and equipment to Ukraine.
