The Spin


Lifting Ukraine's restrictions on weapons would allow it to better to defend itself by striking Russian sites that launch missiles into Ukraine with impunity. This would help Ukraine's war effort, save Ukrainian lives and will push Putin to negotiate for peace.

This is typical of the EU nowadays. It's top diplomat believes he's advancing peace by pushing for further escalation of the conflict. All he does is further debase what the EU stood for in the first place.
