EU foreign ministers clashed in Brussels this week over whether to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of Western weapons inside Russia, revealing deep divisions as the war escalates. 🌍✨
Top EU diplomat Josep Borrell confirmed Ukraine now has U.S. approval to strike up to 300 km into Russian territory—a move Hungary called “extremely dangerous” while Germany refused to supply its Taurus missiles. 🎯
“Each country makes its own decision,” Borrell admitted after the meeting, highlighting the lack of unity. The split mirrors TikTok debates among Gen-Z: some want tougher action, others fear WWIII vibes. 😬
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz doubled down on withholding long-range arms, while critics argue blocking strikes limits Ukraine’s defense. With no common EU stance, the weapon policy remains a geopolitical pickle. 🥒
