Out-going EU Commission to block 500 million € for European Country Ukraine, but spend 1 Billion € for Turkey ?!..

Will the out-going EU Commission (2004-2009) block 500 Million € of aid to Ukraine, (an obviously European Country from History since Ancient times, Culture and Geography, strategically important also for its existing Oil/Gas transit and Military Airplane "Antonov", both urgently needed by the EU, as the present Snow-Cold Weather and old A400M's failure show), while, at the same time, it prepare to fund ..Turkey's controversial and unpopular EU bid up to 1 Billion € ?

Press reports denounce an imminent such move during the fothcoming Week-end. This is not only contrary to the official recognition of Ukraine as "a European Country" by French President Sarkozy when he chaired the EU in 2008, but also dangerously against real European interests : 

- By depriving Kiev from Money when it has to pay Moscow for Energy, obviously this risks also to artificially provoke problems in the transit of Gas from Russia to the EU via Ukraine, much needed now to face a record-breaking Cold weather..

- And instead of agreeing a deal with Ukraine on an Airbus-Antonov cooperation for a cheaper and more performant Military  Transport Airplane, some push EU Countries to spend more than ..22 + 8 = 30 Billions € for an old costly project of the 1980ies (!) : The limited range A400M, which was adopted in dubious circumstances (after a non-elucidated Deadly crash of "Concord" in Paris on 7/2000, when US-oriented "Socialist" Governments wanted to boost Turkey's controversial EU bid by giving Ankara an opportunity to sell raw materials), has been delayed too much, and is only a low-tech "Bus" restricted to a small local Region around EU, unable to fly far enough, (unlike USA's big "Globetrotters" etc).

Last, but not least, such moves are Unpopular : - Who would dare leave Europeans really free to choose between Ukraine and Turkey ?.
