Germany just agreed to sell Ukraine 100 more howitzers. Bulgaria just gave ammunition to Ukraine for their AT guns. Poland is going to give Ukraine PT-91 tanks.

The EU just renewed sanctions for a further six months. Is this what you mean by going soft?
I'm American, my taxes don't go to buying Russian oil or gas. Russia itself has actually cut gas flows to Europe, cutting off more possible funding they could have in the first place. The amount of money Russia could even make from selling gas to the EU is in no way going to make up for the horrible damage caused by sanctions and being cut off from the Western world's economies. Then of course you have the amount of money Russia has spent invading Ukraine from just simply maintaining and using hundreds of thousands and of it's soldiers to the amount of men, aircraft, ships, heavy equipment, tanks, artillery, ect. they have managed to lose in Ukraine. How many billions is that again?And EU is investing in Russia's war effort by buying resources from Russia on Russian terms. German FM literally said, in the link I posted above, that they will acquiesce Russia to avoid riots due to energy crisis that the sanction maintenance would cause.
I get it, you really didn't want the globalist anti-Russian coalition to collapse so easily, but it did from minimal pressure. Plus your vegetable-in-chief will likely fold too, since China is backing Russia and a lot of political/military/intelligence brass in US are Chinese assets.
Your taxes will go to buy Russian resources, and will be spent by Russia on its war effort in Ukraine, so technically it will be you who will fund building pro-Russian statues.
The EU buys some Russian gas while Russia makes a little bit of money while it's economy remains heavily sanctioned to the point of retracting while the EU continues to give weapons to and train Ukrainians to kill Russian soldiers. Again, all is good HH. Russia weakens by the day.
