The EU countries have reached an agreement: providing Ukraine with a 90 billion euro interest-free loan between 2026-2027, to be repaid after Russia pays war compensation.
The EU has once again painted a big pie —
The 90 billion in aid funds is not a commitment from all EU member states. It leaves an uneven flaw for future member state guarantees.
Funding source: The EU borrows money in the capital market and uses the EU budget as collateral.
The three countries of the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Slovakia will not bear the financial obligation of guaranteeing this loan.
When this large sum of money is raised is highly uncertain.
The agreement stipulates that the 90 billion loan will be repaid after Russia pays war compensation.
Has Russia been defeated? Only a defeated country has the responsibility to pay war compensation. Since Russia has not been defeated, how can there be talk of war compensation!
Before the meeting, von der Leyen vowed "to have results," but this result is not what she wanted. Including Mez, it is a defeat.
Mez is about to weep again.
