When Germany wants something for itself there is no such thing as European unity. Poland, remember is still having funds held back by the EU, while Poland is at the Vanguard of support for Ukraine.….
Germany showing it's true colours in a big way. Yes, we will send in equipment to Ukraine....eh perhaps not........Embargo on oil and gas per EU.....eh perhaps not.

Germany exposed big time and Andrea Merkle even more so. You can not depend on the less than 2% Germany in NATO they change as much as the wind blows.
 
TBF causing division like this was probably part of the reason for kicking things off; the EU has people travelling at different speeds and almost in different directions, all with very real national interests behind each move (Poland with its safety, Hungary, Bulgaria and Germany with their energy needs etc).

The difficulty for the EU is accomodating them all, which is possible but which will require a lot of unpleasant compromises (like for instance over this roubles for gas thing), as well as rapid fixes for these problems. I hope wise heads prevail, rather than listening to our cretinry or for that matter the Ukrainians. European unity is vital now and it must be protected at all costs.
It will take time to undo what Merkle has done there is no doubting that. It will take years to solve the German industry needs in energy. Sad state of affairs.
