Ruble is now the highest it has been against the Euro for 2 years. How well are those sanctions working?
Sanctions cannot have a short-term impact on a well-prepared Russia - and on the other hand the EU is playing a very dirty game by supporting Ukraine only to the point of not angering Russia to the end, which means the EU hopes Russia will achieve its goals and that the war will end.
The EU has proved once again that it is weak and incapable of dealing with the crisis in its own backyard, while at the same time the US is sending military aid worth billions. Germany proved itself again by sending military vehicles about 50 years old, but at least they cleaned the warehouse.

Really? "In a historic move for the bloc, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced on Monday that the EU would finance the purchase and delivery of arms to Ukraine totalling €450 million." And that's an old article. https://www.euronews.com/next/2022/03/04/ukraine-war-these-countries-are-sending-weapons-and-aid-to-forces-fighting-the-russian-inv
Seven out of ten top providers of military aid to Ukraine are EU countries. https://www.statista.com/chart/27278/military-aid-to-ukraine-by-country/
which would be more impactful/impressive if the E.U collectively was not paying almost a billion euros a day to Russia for energy...
ps- curious that out of the list of countries supporting Ukraine, https://www.statista.com/chart/27278/military-aid-to-ukraine-by-country/ is ol uncle sam right at the top huh , such impressive unity and action from the 'peans. I am underwhelmed.
The biggest country giving the most money isn't very surprising. A fair comparison would be to sum up all the aid from the european countries and the EU and put that in comarison to the USA.
