Sweden will transfer 16 Gripen fighter jets to Ukraine and sell 22 more, with deliveries expected starting in 2027 as Kyiv seeks to strengthen its air defenses.
Gather a European army ,send Ukraine to give a hand to Ukraine and end this war asap. Europe use Ukraine as a proxy and dont get their hand dirty . I know that Russia is invader and imperialist but it doesnt change anything What I said about Europe . Europe is the lesser of 2 evils . If not ,then Kaja kallas would not stand silent on Action of Israel .
Europe won’t do it. I don’t think it’s because it’s proxy war, rather few other reasons.
Firstly, because every European politician knows that they will lose next election or even get removed. I doubt many Europeans will go fight for Ukraine. Those who wanted - already there in foreign legion or volunteering. Shit, polls show that Europeans barely want to defend their country. Except maybe Poland. But there is no way Poland will send army to Ukraine.
Secondly, if Europe will be too aggressive risk of China to get involved becomes high. It’s not like China is Russia’s bro. China making a profit from selling “dual purpose” goods and buying shadow oil at discount. If China gets involved then US is too, though at this point I’m even not sure on which side.
Thirdly, it’s maybe counterintuitive but helping Ukraine with only equipment and funds without getting directly involved may be the only tactics which will work against Russia. Russia’s recruitment is diminishing. Russian society somewhat like American - individualistic, indifferent and nationalistic at the same time. Sending European army can reinforce “we fight against NATO” propaganda points and boost recruitment
Europeans do want they do always - play long and safe. It maybe not good but IMHO better than destabilizing things even more. Unfortunately all those coulda shoulda simply not possible in real world because of how society works
