Live: EU promises to fast track Ukraine's membership applicationThe European Union says it will return its diplomatic presence to Ukraine and is promising to fast-track the process for the country to seek membership. Sounds like the EU is telling Russia to ramp it up. The First Nations of Europe are on a path to Western Nazism, like Germany was, with the rise of illiberal nationalism, the far-right, and neo-Nazism in Russia's west again. Russians are not stupid. Lest We Forget! EU/NATO is desperately after that Black Sea Oil and Gas off the Ukraine coast....and suddenly Ukraine is the West's favourite 'democracy'....what surprise! This is what modern colonialism looks like.
