The EU Surrenders

On the Western front, the French have all but conceded defeat in the war against Islamization. French President Francois Hollande has declared that France must end "ghettoisation" by targeting poverty and through forced integration. In other words, throw money at the problem and force people to live among those they don't like. It has never worked in the past, but it will succeed this time if we just have a bigger bureaucracy and more social programs. (Sarc.)

On the Eastern front, the Eurocrats have also conceded defeat by rejecting as an option the supply of arms to Ukraine.  Separately, NATO has recognized:

However, the latest Russian military offensives indicate an abrupt change of objectives: Moscow's troops are now expanding and consolidating the separatist rebel enclaves in Ukraine into one larger unit under Russian control, most likely as a prelude to Ukraine's permanent territorial division. 

The aim, therefore, may no longer be to draw Ukraine into Moscow's orbit, but to destroy the nation, and condemn the remaining western rump of the country to the status of a failed state.

The Eurocrats took notice and tacitly voted their approval by denying arms to Ukraine, thus guaranteeing that Ukraine will not be able to retake territory and, if the Ukrainians are stubborn, resulting in the war dragging on indefinitely.

I don't believe that Russia's intentions were ever to draw the Ukraine wholly into its orbit, but was always to slice off the Crimea and those territories needed to create a secure corridor to the Crimea. But Russia also wanted to keep NATO out of the Ukraine, which is the purpose of the "no arms" to the Ukraine. With a "peace" treaty recognizing what Russia wanted from the start, the Eurocrats can return to their countries declaring victory and put this unpleasantness behind them. They don't care about their own peoples' wishes, and certainly don't care what the Ukrainian people want.
