BRUSSELS (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has achieved in days what remained out of the grasp of the European Union for many years and decades.
The 27-nation bloc agreed to jointly buy and send weapons to a war zone and restored trans-Atlantic unity.
Putin previously could sit back and relish in unseemly scenes of Western disunity.
These ranged from Brexit, Hungary’s long-standing antipathy towards its EU headquarters and the rift created by former President Donald Trump that has far from fully healed under under Joe Biden.
Within days all changed.
