That's not what the article is arguing for, at all.
On the contrary, it's mostly agreeing with you. The main argument is that the EU should stop hoping solely on a quick end of the war, but start planning for a long war.
The key point is to start building the Ukranian economy right now, through improved air defence, reforms and a prospect to EU membership.
And while us EU citizens are grateful to the US and UK support, this is ultimately our responsibility and our risk. Ukraine and Russia border the EU and Putin wants EU territory, too.
