Explanation of the difference between Europe and EU specific for stupid politicians that mix the two up all the time.
Europe is a continent - EU is an association of 27 states.
Talking about "Europe" and meaning "the EU" is spreading Fake News.
Since the EU parliamentarians like to present themself as the biggest and most important, here are a few details about Russia and China.
Sanctions against Russia sound very maskuline but the EU will look stupid, if China and Russia cooperate from now on, this is not so well understood by the EU-polliticians.
In my opinion, EU politicians have largely lost touch with reality, China and Rissia have more than 1.5 billion people, and a continuous economic growth. The EU has 510 million inhabitants and a shrinking economy. Sanctions against russia does not sound like a sign of intelligence.
