EU Split: Italy, Spain & France Question Ukraine Aid Boost | Spain’s FM Albares Backs €1B Pledge

Italy and Spain have pushed back against the EU’s plan to double military aid to Ukraine, citing concerns over timing and ongoing diplomatic talks.

The proposal, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, aims to raise aid from €20 billion to €40 billion by 2025.

While northern and eastern EU nations strongly support the move, southern countries like Italy and Spain are urging caution.

Even France has voiced concerns, adding to the growing divide within the bloc.

Hungary and Slovakia have outright refused to participate, but EU officials say their opposition won't derail the plan.

EU Crisis? Slovakia’s Fico Defies Brussels, Deepens Ties With Moscow | Putin's BIG NATO Warning

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico met Russian President Vladimir Putin at the SCO Summit, drawing sharp criticism from Brussels. Despite Slovakia’s EU and NATO membership, Fico vowed deeper energy cooperation with Moscow and announced opposition to an EU plan to cut Russian oil and gas supplies. He lashed out at EU chief Ursula von der Leyen, calling EU leaders “frogs in a well.” Putin praised Fico’s independent stance and declared Russia has no objection to Ukraine joining the EU—but NATO membership remains off limits. #Slovakia #Fico #Putin #SCO2025 #Russia #EU #UrsulaVonDerLeyen #Ukraine #NATO #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #GlobalSummit #SlovakiaRussia #EUPolitics #ForeignPolicy #Moscow #UkraineConflict #EUEnergy #OilAndGas #EastEurope #RussiaRelations #EUTensions #BreakingNews #SCO #Brussels #SlovakPM #RussiaEU #GlobalNews #EnergySecurity #FicoPutin Also Read Zelenskyy Calls Modi Ahead Of SCO Summit, Days Before PM’s Meeting With Putin :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/zelenskyy-calls-modi-ahead-of-sco-summit-days-before-pm-s-meeting-with-putin-7845961.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Says No Agreement On Ending Russia's War In Ukraine As Putin Says There Was An 'Understanding' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-says-no-agreement-on-ending-russia-war-ukraine-putin-7831387.html?ref=DMDesc

Putin MOCKS Western Sanctions |Claims Russia Still Working With Western Scientists Despite Sanctions

Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Moscow continues scientific cooperation with Western experts despite heavy sanctions and political isolation. Speaking in Sarov, Russia’s nuclear hub, Putin insisted that science, like art and sports, cannot be destroyed by politics. He revealed that joint projects persist in nuclear, space, and medical research, even with some NATO states, while new ventures in nuclear medicine are emerging. According to Putin, Russia lost Finland as a partner but continues work with France, Germany, and Hungary through Rosatom. He stressed that Russia still supplies nuclear fuel and services to “unfriendly” countries, hinting that departing partners may eventually return. Putin also warned the West that restricting academic and scientific ties will inflict long-term damage. Despite sanctions, Russia and the U.S. recently extended collaboration on the International Space Station and discussed future lunar and deep-space missions. #Putin #Russia #Science #Sanctions #Research #Nuclear #Space #ISS #NASA #Rosatom #Innovation #Technology #Education #UkraineWar #Geopolitics #Unity #Europe #Cooperation #GlobalScience #Future ~HT.410~ED.102~
