I can't speak for all other Portuguese, but here's one, and I know more, that would risk nuclear war over many places, including Ukraine!
And yes, I haven't join the fight in Ukraine, there were family restrictions preventing that, but if the call to protect Europe comes I'll answer!

But it appears these are increasing, as well as increase in number of supplied guns (and Ukraine's own production).
Could this mean that Ukraine is at the moment, in regards to artillery, stocking up for the future?

I have seen several claims that around 70% or slightly more of all equipment losses are inflicted by drones nowadays.
In a way this seems to mean that artillery has lost the importante it once had.
So munition supplies is in theory not as critical as before, right?

I say theoretically cause Article 5 was only invoked once, by the US after 11-Sep (aka 9/11) and we don't know for sure how the alliance members would actually act in case of an invasion of one of its members.
But it is in itself a powerful deterrent or a security guarantee

Them joining the EU already makes them part of a defence structure of sorts, I would say.
That is why EU ascension is, IMHO, more crucial than NATO but of course the EU doesn't have a common defence policy at the moment nor is security umbrella in the same way NATO membership theoretically is

To be fair, NATO ascension by Ukraine is, at the moment, a very remote prospect, regardless of who would win in Poland.
Biden didn't want it, Trump for sure won't and there are other leaders in Europe, I'm sure.
Even after the war is over (russia leaves)...

Polish new president is the MAGA-type but the government is not, so there's a bit of a nuance there...

I suppose you refer to the investigation documented in Der Spiegel?
I remember I read it carefully and was not convinced by their work, even though I'm not an expert in any way but there were several inconsistencies forcing them to take assumptions in one direction, IMHO...

In a simplistic way (and making a pop-culture mashed up reference): The Return of the (russian) Empire!
It's not like he's saying anything completely new, but he conciliates ideas/thoughts people have shared about russia and Putler's motivations in a clear, yet powerful, message.

Didn't the US approved a weapons' sale after you posted this video? I was under that impression but the truth is we don't know if future sales will be allowed. But to be fair, with him we don't know anything as he might do a 180º at any time and then doing it again later...

This is not an attack against Neil Young and this beautiful song, but it's just my commentary how many "social justice warriors" have a wrong vision of the world and history and many times exaggerate thus actually hurting the progress, such as people having a toxic view if what being woke is.

War was never known?!?! How the fuck did they build an empire then?
Hate was a legend? Why did the Tlaxcala and Cempoala helped Cortez defeat the Aztecs? Was it because they loved eachother?
But Neil Young wrote other things

Many of us have a magically idealised view of the native people that were oppressed long ago and so can make ridiculous claims about the past.
For example, I'm the song "Cortez the Kller", Neil Young wrote this about the Aztec Empire:
"Hate was just a legend
And war was never known"

Ah OK. I understood you meant him cause that was the actual invitation from Zelenskyy (them sending delegations was actually propose by then).
Yes, they most likely will send someone there; it's all a tactic to not do any meaningful ceasefire like others proposed and keep Trump "happy"

I haven't seen confirmation and I have to say, him meeting Zelenskyy is an internal bad PR because he says Zelenskyy is not the legitimate president of 🇺🇦.
But let's see. Of course I only share my opinion (even if written as a certainty) but I would be very surprised if he shows up

But the song is not titled "mono no aware", that's the name of the other band that made the original song "かむかもしかもにどもかも!" ("Kamu kamo shikamo nidomo kamo!" meaning apparently "Bites and bites and bites!”) which has much less views than Haku's cover.
