Ukraine's dire situation and the EU aid package

Ukraine is in dire straits, with the Huza military commander being fired and a desperate need for manpower. The EU has pledged $54 billion in cash over the next four years to Ukraine. While some question if the money will be wasted, it is earmarked for weapons and could provide battlefield surprises to counter Putin. The aid package is also meant to stabilize the government and prevent a potential war among different factions in Kiev. The EU's involvement is because Washington is guiding the process, leveraging threats to wreck the Hungarian economy and put pressure on President Viktor Orban.
