A growing number of EU lawmakers are at odds over the West's support for the war in Ukraine. The European Union alone has pumped 67 billion euros into the country since last March. Jerome Hughes reports from Brussels.
The voices calling for de-escalation and peace in Ukraine are getting louder inside the European Parliament. However, the heckles against such calls are also growing. It's a trend that points to division.
Dozens of legislators are demanding more tanks, long-range missiles and warplanes for Ukraine.
At the same time, there are those who oppose more bloodshed. NATO defense ministers pledged on Wednesday to keep the flow of weapons to Ukraine going.
Members of the military alliance have agreed to restock. That spells a massive payday for manufacturers of lethal arms. A great deal of corruption in Ukraine has been highlighted during a conference here in Brussels.
There are divisions within the big Western organizations.
Turkey is blocking Sweden from joining NATO. Hungary does not like the idea of Ukraine joining the European Union.
Foreign affairs ministers from across the EU will meet on Monday to rubber stamp a 10th package of sanctions against Russia. Some analysts claim it indicates previous measures against Moscow have failed.
