"Member of the European Parliament Tamas Deutsch accused EU leaders of failing to acknowledge their mistakes and prolonging the conflict in Ukraine, warning that the bloc is headed towards a full-scale war with Russia, during an interview on Wednesday. "In this war-crazed madhouse, it did not bring about a change either, because they could not get off this track," he said. "President Trump wants to establish peace, and Europe was left alone, and out of classical political weakness, they cannot, they are unable to admit their mistake, they try to push forward in the deadlock with increasing speed and intensity. More war, more money to be spent on war, and an even greater house of war madness." "They are not aiming for the end of the war in Ukraine, but for the conflict raging in Ukraine. For the Russian-Ukrainian war to expand into a Russian-European war," he added. It comes as leaders of the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing' met in Paris on Tuesday to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine. During the summit, French President Emmanuel Macron and the UK's Keir Starmer signed a 'declaration of intent' with Volodymyr Zelensky to deploy troops to Ukraine in the ceasefire. The MEP also criticised EU leaders for what he described as 'burning through money' after the bloc recently approved an additional €90 billion loan for Kiev, with Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic opting out of the deal. "The entire war strategy, an enormous amount of money in the Ukrainian war, more than 180 billion euros, at a time when every euro cent of this 180 billion euros would have had a place here within the European Union for strengthening the economies of the member states, agricultural for support, or for increasing and strengthening the defence capabilities," he stressed. On Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with national security members of the so-called 'Coalition of the Willing' in Kiev, where he reportedly requested 800 billion euros for 'reconstruction' and 'development' for Ukraine over the next decade. Under the proposal, €500 billion would be sourced from public funding through grants and concessional, low-interest loans, with an additional €300 billion expected from private capital."
