"Somehow a feeling is not leaving our public opinion that some in Europe hope that Ukraine will fall soon, so that they are saved from more active involvement."

"The feeling of disgust against the Swift blockers like @Germany grows in Ukraine by the hour. I never thought i would live to see true evil from an @EU member but @Germany now disgusts me also."
I do not think Germany is going to be very popular with the Eastern European states in future EU and NATO meetings. Well assuming Latvia and co don't end up becoming puppets states of Russia. In which case they will be very friendly with Germany.
Unless Germany and Italy see sense, I foresee a massive split between Eastern Europe and Western Europe, assuming Eastern Europe survives. I very seriously doubt Eastern Europe is going to forgive Western Europe for abandoning them. I think whatever dreams and ideals they had about Western Europe have died. It'd be fun watching Poland's response next time Germany lectures them about nuclear power. I think it'll all come out at that point. The Poles will go, pun intended, nuclear, at Germany. They'll be best buddies with the UK and US though. So the future alliances in Europe will be Eastern Europe + UK vs France, Germany, Italy etc.
