      Germany already does send more humanitarian aid than any other country, and the EU as a whole is also a major contributor on top of that. Unfortunately Ukraine needs both humanitarian and military aid.

        Ukraine government is just as much corrupted as the government of germany, france, italy or russia. Have you seen climate activists and protesters getting beaten over there? Sending billions on military aid to an authoritarian government that is trying to conscript everyone isn’t a good thing.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobilization_in_Ukraine#2024

        “As of 26 April 2024, the Polish government has offered, and the Lithuania governments is considering, repatriating Ukrainian men living in their countries to Ukraine. So that they can be drafted into the Ukrainian military. It is a “rough estimate” that some 300-400,000 men alone are living in Poland”

        This is part of how the polish government is aiding ukraine. Don’t you think it would be better to give these escaping the war aid and hospitality instead of handling them back to their government?
