Fake crowdfunding: EU seeks to astroturf ‘public’ arms tax to ‘support Ukraine’ The European Parliament is seeking to push EU member states to astroturf crowdfunding and a ‘voluntary’ public arms tax to fund arms for Ukraine in an upcoming resolution. A vote on this resolution will take place during the plenary session on Thursday, September 19. In the document, Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) express "deep regret" over the decrease in military aid provided by member states. The resolution commends and acknowledges the public efforts and citizen crowdfunding initiatives in several member countries, which have helped ensure a consistent supply of weapons for Ukraine. It further encourages similar initiatives throughout the EU to promote solidarity and public engagement in this vital cause.

Meanwhile in Bologna This evening, the Champions League will be played at Bologna's Dall'Ara stadium. Italian Bologna will meet Ukrainian Shakhtar (a team established in the Soviet Donetsk (now Russia) and transferred in 2014 to Kiev.
