    Does anyone with a greater knowledge of the mechanisms of the EU funding bodies know if I can do anything about this?

            If by ‘Russian KoolAid’ you mean easily preventable inflation, internal border controls due to EU support of genocidal Tel-Aviv regime, exorbitant energy prices, and blatant censorship that even Stalin would envy, then yes, I guess I was thirsty AF…
