Both Macron and Scholz are complete idiots. I think Zelensky is so fed-up with them that he now seems to be doing a lot of his talking to them through the media. They've been told multiple times that Ukraine is not giving up ANY territory and they should stop "going behind my back". That was echoed by Biden. I wonder if their attitude would be any different if it was France or Germany on the receiving end.
Along with Turkey objecting to Sweden and Finland joining NATO and all the political leaders (sic) in Europe bickering between themselves I really despair.
Polish PM Andrzej Duda told the press “only Ukraine has the right to decide about its future,” and criticised the "worrying voices" wanting to allow Putin to 'save face'. He also took a swipe at Scholz who reneged on an agreement to replace Leopard tanks that Poland gave to Ukraine.
"We have provided Ukraine with a large number of tanks, because we believe that this is our responsibility as a neighbour. You didn't keep your promise. And frankly, we're very disappointed with that."
Last weekend Welt am Sonntag revealed that despite Scholz's public statements that Germany was providing heavy equipment and APC's to Ukraine, since the end of March they have only sent one batch of anti-tank mines and one batch of gun parts and grenades. Later, the German deputy finance minister said that they didn't want to send anything to Ukraine that could possibly result in escalation to nuclear conflict.

On MSNBC von der Layen said that the EU is buying Russian oil to stop them profiting from selling it at a higher price on the open market. What?!
Meanwhile, Hungary's demands for EU money to help reduce it's dependency on Russian oil provoked Katarina Barly, the VP of the European Parliament, to say that the Hungarian political system is 'blatantly corrupt' and "everyone knows where the money will go... through his (Oban's) family and clans".
European Union? It's more like my £$%^ing student union.
