Ursula von der Leyen has given the EU countries an ultimatum. Either they fund Ukraine at their own expense, or they steal Russian assets. ‘Today we propose to cover two-thirds of Ukraine's financing needs for the next two years. The EU must contribute 90 billion euros, the remaining part should be covered by international partners. We present two solutions to the member states that they need to agree on. The first solution is to use the EU budget as a guarantee to provide this capital to Ukraine in the form of a loan. This decision must be made by unanimous vote. The second solution is a reparations loan. Here we will use the cash balances obtained from mobilized Russian assets in the European Union. We propose to cover all financial institutions that have accumulated such cash balances. These institutions will have to transfer these funds into a reparations loan instrument. In other words, we take these cash balances, provide them to Ukraine as a loan, and Ukraine will have to repay this loan if and when Russia pays reparations. This decision can be made by a qualified majority vote. The funds will be directed to support Ukraine's budget and military support’. - SK

‼️🚨 The wicked witch of the EU fantasises about not using any Russian oil or gas in "her union" from 2026. 😂No worries. Russia will pump the oil to Hungary, China, India or Turkey. EU can buy it from them. Ursula von der Leyen gave EU countries an ultimatum. Either they finance Ukraine at their own expense or steal Russian assets. "Today, we propose covering two-thirds of Ukraine's financing needs for the next two years. The EU must contribute €90 billion, with the remainder to be covered by international partners. We present two solutions to member states, which they will have to agree on. The first solution is to use the EU budget as a guarantee to provide this capital to Ukraine as a loan. This solution must be approved by a unanimous vote. The second solution is a reparations loan. Here, we will use the cash balances obtained from mobilized Russian assets in the European Union. We propose covering all financial institutions that have accumulated such balances. These institutions will be required to convert these funds into a reparations loan instrument. In other words, we take these cash balances, provide them to Ukraine as a loan, and Ukraine will be required to repay this loan if and when Russia pays reparations."

Enough talking – EU decision on support to Ukraine is crucial. Using the frozen Russian assets for a reparations loan to Ukraine is the best way forward.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 Ursula VdL gives Europe an ultimatum; generate capital to cover 2/3 Ukraine's needs or agree on stealing Russian frozen assets. Belgium holds almost 70% of the frozen assets but has denied the EU access. It has really been satisfying watching the downfall of the EU.

❗️Similar to the reparations credit, Ukraine will repay the loan only when Russia pays reparations — European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. Ursula von der Leyen stated that EU countries have agreed to finance Ukraine through EU borrowings on capital markets in the amount of €90 billion over the next two years. She emphasized that the mechanism will operate on the principle of a "reparations credit": Ukraine will be obliged to repay these funds only after Russia pays reparations. Until then, the frozen Russian assets will remain blocked, and the EU reserves the right to use available cash balances to finance this loan. "A just and lasting peace for Ukraine was the motto of today's discussion. We gathered with a clear goal to address Ukraine's financial needs for the next two years, and I am very pleased to announce that we have succeeded. We have reached an agreement that allows us to fully cover them."

Belgium rejected the use of frozen Russian assets. Now, the EU is seeking another option, such as taking a loan that European countries must pay interest on, until it is repaid (which is never).

🇺🇦🇪🇺 “Ukraine would only need to pay back the loan once it receives reparations. Until then, the immobilized Russian assets will remain immobilized.” — Ursula von der Leyen, Dec 19 Today the EU approved a €90 billion loan package for Ukraine as a “reparations loan” to be repaid only after Russia is forced to pay. To enable this, the EU locked up Russian sovereign assets “over the long term” and changed legal rules so they can now be seized with a majority vote, previously one country could veto it. The EU also reserved the right to tap the cash balances of those frozen Russian assets to front the loan This means: 🔹 Ukraine will be funded through EU debt 🔹 The loan is tied to war outcomes, contingent on Russia’s defeat LOL 🔹 If reparations never come, Ukraine is left with massive debt, or the EU appropriates Russian wealth outright (likely outcome)

🇺🇦 🇪🇺 The EU **failed** to reach an agreement on using frozen Russian assets for Ukraine. No consensus after 14 hours of discussions. ‼️Instead, 24 countries will consider an interim financing solution based on joint borrowing to provide Ukraine with €90 billion over two years. This outcome would be a serious blow to German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had promoted a plan to utilize the assets. ❗️The plan will not include Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. Earlier, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán stated that using frozen Russian assets would be an open declaration of war. Before the summit, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico said that his country would vote against any attempts to use frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a "reparations loan." It was also reported that Hungary intends to form an alliance within the EU with the Czech Republic and Slovakia against supporting Ukraine. NYT reported that the meeting of EU leaders to discuss the issue of providing Ukraine with a reparations loan using frozen Russian assets could last until Christmas.

Merz: We are faced with a choice. Using European debt or Russian assets for Ukraine. My opinion is we must utilize Russian assets. They’ve been immobilized for a week, so Russia can’t access them. We should use them with a loan to support Ukraine for the next 2 years. 1/

🥴Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that he would be the first to oppose Ukraine's membership in the EU. "We don't know how much money has been stolen there. To date, the European Union has provided Ukraine with 177.5 billion euros. We have no idea where all this has gone." Fico also once again spoke out against the reparations loan for Ukraine using frozen Russian assets and added that the EU is currently experiencing a "major crisis."

And so this is why we ended up with a loan,” Jovita Neliupšienė Jovita Neliupsiene tells me after EU decided against accessing frozen #Russian assets. “But I have to admit, the assets are frozen and they are frozen for imminent time or until the war stopped and Russia starts paying reparations.”

Ursula von der Leyen: We have one ultimate goal in this summit and that is peace for Ukraine, peace with strength, and for that Ukraine needs to have a secure funding for the next two years. I have made two proposed options on the table for this funding. One is funding through the EU budget, borrowing against the budget, and the second possibility is the reparations. So today we will have the discussions about which one or who to use. There will be intensive discussions. For me the most important part is that at the end of the day we have secured the funding for the next two years.
