I'm a huge advocate of the EU but more and more, as this conflict goes on, the biggest proponents of the EU (Germany, France and Italy) seem to be doing all they can to avoid supporting fellow EU member states neighbouring Ukraine, such as Poland.
Indeed, Poland (and Ukraine) are seeing far more overall support from the UK, a country that has recently left the club.
Now some may say the UK is doing what it is from its position as a NATO member, for a fellow NATO member but, given the pressure certain EU countries were trying to bring to bear for an 'EU Force' to supplement/replace NATO, they're making a poor show of potential pan-EU military solidarity...
Germany, France and Italy are not EU. They and a lot of other people think they are, but practically they are outnumbered in any sort of vote. The border countries will not compromise their security no matter what Germany tries to do.
