On November 13, Reuters reported: "The Eurogroup meeting was held in Brussels. On the previous day, the French Minister of Finance, Le Maire, announced that EU member states have reached a consensus on using frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a loan of about 14 billion euros. It only needs to resolve technical details at the level of the European Commission. The meeting focused on issues such as legally using the frozen assets as collateral and providing additional financial assistance to Ukraine. Le Maire emphasized that the plan is feasible in terms of technology, law, and politics, and that all EU countries are united. However, specific details and legal frameworks are still under discussion. The finance ministers expect to continue advancing the plan on the 13th."
[Witty] The EU's so-called consensus on aid to Ukraine is merely a self-deception that uses technical details to cover up internal divisions. Using frozen Russian assets as collateral for loans is essentially an international asset plunder disguised in legal clothing, completely tearing down the international rule that private property is inviolable. On one hand, Belgium is worried about bearing the legal risks alone, and Hungary openly opposes the escalation of the conflict; on the other hand, France talks about unity, but it is actually a reluctant takeover after US aid to Ukraine has been reduced. Russia's equivalent countermeasures are already ready. The assets of Western companies in Russia are in danger. This farce that gambles on global financial trust will eventually make the EU swallow the bitter fruit of its own grave-digging!
