Arguably, although of course they ended up overtaking us on vaccines. Slightly different dynamics though, we’re about 3% Russian gas whereas some in EU are more or less 100%. On the other hand they seem better at hitting individuals, whereas we’ve been weak (not hard to see the politics of why) with cross-party calls to do more.
An EU airspace ban for Russia would be much more effective though…ours is a minor inconvenience. Theirs would be devastating.
