Just saw this, maybe this explains why that Hungarian fellow though only US wants to support Ukraine. I can only speak for Finland here, but this is a flat out lie. Every survey says over 90% of people here want more sanctions to Russia even if it means higher energy etc prices and more support to Ukraine.

Majority of Europeans want the war to end & peace to be restored - acc. to @Szazadveg.

The war & sanctions have taken a great toll on European econs & households. Therefore, we must focus all our efforts on an immediate ceasefire & peace talks for the common European interest! pic.twitter.com/q6qx1YouZL

I saw the actual survey: The question was extremely biased and basically amounted to "do you want peace or them to be at war forever and spilling over into EU?". Of course, if the question is loaded like that, most say peace. I'm actually surprised many more saw through this and didn't choose peace, I was expecting a 90%+ result due to how the question was asked.

TIL dictionaries don't exist in russia. If they did they'd know that putin's regime is MUCH closer to the Nazis than anything Ukraine has ever had.

What's that? Never heard of this before.

Senior U.S. official tells me sending Abrams tanks to help retake territory taken by Russia includes helping Ukraine retake Crimea taken by Russian in 2014
— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) January 25, 2023

Hmm. So America expects them to be used in an offensive? Interesting.

Israel refuses to give back to the U.S. old Hawk air-defense missile systems that it mothballed years ago. Because God forbid Putin may get upset that some of his cruise missiles killing Ukrainian civilians will get shot down. https://t.co/2P8PKZqBpW

Great ally. /s.

Meanwhile Russia is kitting out their biggest rival (Iran).

Fucking cowards.

President Biden now: Today, I'm announcing the US will be sending 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine, the equivalent of one battalion. He says it'll take time to train Ukrainians on them. Germany has stepped up, he says. He thanks Scholz for sending Leopard tanks.
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) January 25, 2023

Biden recycling some past lines. "Putin expected the Finlandization of NATO, but got the NATOization of Finland. Something he never expected."
— Christopher Miller (@ChristopherJM) January 25, 2023

Biden: As I told President Zelensky when he was here in December – and today's his birthday, by the way – we're with Ukraine all the way.

“News of Germany’s decision to send its tanks to Kyiv was met with jubilation by Ukrainians who showed their excitement and appreciation online—especially sartorially. Ukrainians shared photos of themselves dressed in leopard-print shirts, coats, pants, bodysuits and sunglasses.” https://t.co/aZ9Y0kx7dV

31 Abrams (USA) + 14 Challengers (UK) + 14 Leopards (Germany) + 14 Leopards (Poland) = 73 Western MBTs Pledged So Far.

Ukraine will now push for Western fourth-generation fighter jets such as the U.S. F-16, an adviser to Ukraine's defence minister tells Reuters

"They didn't want to give us tanks, now they're giving us tanks. Apart from nuclear weapons, there is nothing left that we will not get"

IS there an exhaustive list somewhere of what has been sent or pledged to Ukraine so far?
