EU Cannot Determine Who Pays for 90B Ukraine Credit
Moscow, August 11, Vesti. Brussels is still unable to determine how much money EU member states will have to allocate to service a 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine and what financial obligations the countries — members of the union — will bear.
Consensus
- The European Commission cannot determine which EU member states will finance the 90-billion-euro loan to Ukraine.
- The Commission does not have calculations on the size of the subsidy for interest payments on the loan.
- It is unclear whether the mechanism for subsidizing interest payments will be included in the EU budget for 2027.
- The financial obligations of individual EU countries cannot be determined at this time.
Points of divergence
- Deputy of the European Parliament Fabio De Mazi claims the decision to allocate funds to Ukraine only benefits 'corrupt oligarchs' and prolongs the conflict. — vm
- Former Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico stated that former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made a mistake by trying to block the EU's 90-billion-euro credit to Ukraine. — vm
- Economist Sergey Zayunlin suggested that 80-90% of the loan funds would remain within the EU, potentially spent on defense industry products. — vesti
