I long ago was disgusted over the lack of action by EU countries re Ukraine. It was obvious that the 2014 Us backed coup would lead to civil war which would drag in Russia and the west. This would result in X million refugees and economic harm to EU from the sanctions to follow. Just for these reasons the EU countries should have leaned on Kiev to prevent a war.
Germany, France, Russia worked together on Minsk 1 and 2 between Kiev govt and the so called separatists. Later Germany, France, and Ukraine leaders all said Minsk was a ruse to buy time for Kiev to arm up. What did they think would happen?
Then the UK and likely others sabotaged the Istanbul tentative agreement.
So now the EU held an emergency meeting whining about being left out of current negotiations.It is too late for that now you morons. You had your chances before.
