EU decides to go colonial

Influence wars final plus the U-R war gets a EU

France pov

I smiled as I began to spread my influence in Africa by mass influencing Algeria and Mauritania despite both of their government trying to fight it off pro French coups took them over resulting in both of them being puppets of my sphere. I quickly began to help them with their problems while I began to prepare to influence other nations while preventing the ACC from spreading their influence into my sphered nations for as long as possible to try and hold them off while the others expand.

Italy pov

I began to expand further by making Somalia my new colony known as Italian Somalia quickly fixing their problems as long as I  fast as I can while I began to focus on trying to get Somaliland to join me but it failed. They then joined the ACC which did annoy me but unfortunately I can't stop it without causing world war 3 so I began to talk with the EU about possibly fighting the Russians in protection of Ukraine under the condition they joined the EU. 

Ukraine pov

We are fighting the Russians back but it is starting to slow down... The war might truly not be in my favor despite the constant support of the 2 factions the ACC and the EU who both are at odds at each other currently. Then I got an offer from the EU where I would join them in exchange they would all enter the war on my side to protect me from the Russians which utterly shocked me that they would attempt something like this.... I then accepted this and sent it while I planned on having us hold off the Russians while the EU would advance in the Baltics while reinforcements would arrive to help hold the front until we can launch an offensive. 

Russia pov

Cyka Blyat! I didn't expect the EU to actually join in on the war! I quickly began to draw forces to fight the EU forces in the Baltics to hold them off... I need to finish Ukraine before EU backup arrives even without the USA with their growing influence their manpower is on par with the US presence that used to be in the EU. Plus their growing amount of resources makes them nearly independent from any oil trade meaning my oil can no longer leverage them at all... I quickly began to draw out reserves to help fight the much bigger amount of enemies against us while I hoped it reached winter allowing us to push them back much easier especially when it comes to fighting Finland who is very strong right now. I was worried as I was immediatly getting pushed by the Baltics and the Kawalway Penisula is starting to fall to the Finnish troops. Which means to me that I am losing land with the EU forces starting to arrive to fight in Ukraine with my air force being bogged down by the many EU fighters weakening my air superiority.
