I would just say that if the amount of money that's going to be used for war by the EU, was instead used to create interviews, podcasts, conversations, translations, information, between Russians and Europeans, learning experiences for all sides, where history, economy, philosophy is taught to both sides to inform the population, we would have a golden age.

Millions spent for diplomacy in the EU and they didn't even have a live recorded conversation with Putin.

Wars are a thing of elites. And people continually fall for it.

I highly recommend the documentary JFK to 9/11 | Everything is a Rich Man's Trick on Youtube, to learn more about who/what was behind WW1, WW2, among other things. There's some speculation in the documentary but there's information that is factual and provides plenty of food for thought.

Wars are a thing of elites since the beginning of time. The people don't want wars. The elites convince/force the people to go to war.

This is also one of the reasons Switzerland is neutral, because the people control the country with referendums and war mongers never really have power. This has allowed stability and soft power that has basically made it something useful for everyone, discouraging invasion. It is/was basically Bitcoin in the form of nation state.
