        As European, whatever my PM agreed in Brussels to give, taken from my taxes.

        As an individual, I have made a few contributions to their Unite24 platform.

        Can’t give you an exact number, sorry. What about you?

          Thanks. For me it’s taxes plus drone donations and some supplies for Ukrainians.

          I’m sorry for voicing myself so unelegantly. I only meant that the decidents of the loan should be praised and encouraged to give more rather than insulted. I agree that the Russian coin should go to Ukraine and condemn Euroclear for resisting so much. I know things aren’t so simple but this is the time to take sides.

            Yeah, that was my original “cowards” comment aimed to: this is not just about the money but about the message.

            And the EU I want to live in is one that is not ashamed of herself but proud and strong and decided.
