Finally, Nato's troops is entering Ukraine

Barely clinging to power European political leaders are only now waking up to the fact that their respective electorate does not share the same agenda they do.

Thus it's only just occurred to them that not only are they likely to be unceremoniously obliterated in their respective forthcoming elections, but they're looking at a long period of unemployment !
So some are playing the 'popular agenda' game.
i.e. pay lip service to ideas that they now know they should have taken up in the first place because the long-term likelihood is that half of Europe will fall from it's own brand of democracy into something potentially far darker.
No matter how much they hope their own economic fortunes will improve.
