EU Comes Out to Support Ukraine: Weapons, SWFT and Sanctions

Western nations and others across the globe are coming out to support Ukraine. Its an interesting situation as Ukraine is seen as a buffer to Europe. A defeat for Russia here would be devastating to any other plans they may have. Likely why some troops are put under nuclear emergency (Let us hope they don't use such a system. It would forever change a sense of safety and security of nations for generations.). Such a situation would also likely impact world perception and completely change developmental trajectories of nations in terms of technology and treaties. 

A couple of things from the speech.......

-EU for the first time ever will finance purchase and deliver weapons to Ukraine. 

-More sanctions: No Russian plans in EU, ban Kremlin media, target Lukashenko Regime, Russian banks removed from SWFT system, sanctioning large Russian banks.

(Side Note: A misinformation campaign is something we experienced prior to the last presidential elections in the U.S. and is partly responsible for encouraging hyper politics. In response, a number of high technology companies have started to target and remove such false information from US social media sites. Cyber attacks, physically overwhelming forces, and misinformation seem to be part of a coordinated strategy against Ukraine but also look like tools used in other places. Perhaps if we can figure out where the "energy strikes" are coming from we might be able to put together a basic sketch of a current running model.. I don't think anyone knows yet....but time of reveals things in its due course. Its also possible someone might discover such discrepancies in hindsight review/research. It would make sense from a strategic sense why they would use these softening approaches.
