• 🇪🇺 European powers, including France, have consistently supported a long-lasting and just peace in Ukraine.
• 💡 For any peace plan to be effective, it requires the full buy-in from Ukrainians and Europeans.
• ⚠️ The current conflict is characterized by a clear aggressor (Russia) and a victim (Ukraine), with no concessions noted from the Russian side.
• 💥 Russia could have agreed to an unconditional ceasefire earlier if peace was its genuine objective, yet bombings of civilians continue.

Financial Scrutiny of Aid to Ukraine

• 💰 There is a call for immediate cessation of payments to Ukraine from Brussels unless financial clearance is provided.
• 🧐 European taxpayers' money spent in Ukraine needs to be accounted for, demanding financial transparency.
