The article, published on behalf of the editorial board, has a remarkable title: “The European Union is hypocritical towards Ukraine».

"This is a pan-European problem. Leaders declare their 'unwavering commitment and solidarity with Ukraine.' In theory. In practice, the continent often fails to agree, let alone act, and make the choice and make the sacrifices necessary to help your neighbor", - said in the article.

It is noted that EU leaders scold Trump for possible concessions to Russia, but they themselvescontinue to finance Putin's war».

Thus, the newspaper draws attention to the fact that French President Emmanuel Macron [according to the magazine "Der Spiegel"] fears that the United States "may betray Ukraine" in the territorial issue, but at the same time his country occupied the position in August 2025 third place in the EU in terms of volume of purchases of Russian energy resources.

“At the same time, the EU is only now preparing to ban the import of Russian gas – and only from 2027. Before that, the Europeans were actively They bought oil from India, “not noticing” that a significant portion of it was processed Russian crude"In the first nine months of 2024, imports from such refineries increased by 20%," the publication notes.

Belgium, which refuses to confiscate Russian sovereign assets held in its depository, also took heat from the Washington Post.In particular, dissatisfaction is being expressed with Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever, who called Ukraine's victory a "fairy tale," emphasizing that "Russia with nuclear weapons must not be destabilized."

"Europe sees the splinter in Trump's eye, but doesn't notice the beam in its own," the newspaper concludes sadly.
