Ukrainian student Kateryna Darchyk, 20, told Reuters:"We ask for NATO to give us weapons because we have soldiers, we have people ready to fight for Ukraine, men and women who are ready to protect their country."In addition, NATO's 30 leaders invited Finland and Sweden into the alliance, a decision that once ratified would end decades of Nordic neutrality by putting the two countries under the United States' nuclear umbrella.

That was made possible after Turkey dropped its veto against the two countries' progress to membership following four hours of talks yesterday evening in Madrid, ending weeks of drama that threatened allied unity.Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had threatened to block their bids over Ankara's accusations the two countries supported a Kurdish militia in northern Syria.

America stop pussy footing around and help them with the war

⚖️Recent lecture by John J. Mearsheimer. Ukraine was not in NATO, but NATO was in Ukraine since 2014. The alliance began training the Ukrainian military in 2014 averaging 10,000 trained troops annually.⚖️

How about someone asking where is all this money and arms going, this will be another Afghanistan

Russia didn't invade Ukraine, he is there specifically carrying out a special operation aimed at ridding the ukraine of Nazis, biolabs, CIA operatives, stop the genocide of ethnic minorities and push back NATO/US encroaching on eastern European territory

If they're that concerned go in directly. But they won't because Russia and China will wipe NATO and the Americans off the face off the earth. Sneaky back door tactics as usual.

The most important thing Europe needs from the US this winter is some of their fracked natural gas....Putin is cutting the supply...

How about sending out some peace negotiators?
