At the plenary session of the European Parliament (EP) in Strasbourg, French MP Thierry Mariani stated a serious threat to the EU economy after issuing a loan to Ukraine at the expense of income from "frozen" Russian assets. The politician recalled that they will not be able to be used as collateral and guarantees if the sanctions are lifted. This was announced today, October 22, according to TASS.

Further more, Thierry Mariani called a time bomb a loan to Kiev in the amount of 35 billion euros. Europe's economic future is under serious threat.

"This loan is mainly based on [income from] frozen Russian assets, which cannot be used as guarantees in the event that <> sanctions from the Russian Federation will be lifted. Then the budget time bomb will be ready to explode," the Frenchman said in the EP.

Thierry Mariani also reminded his colleagues that "the European Commission is trying to impose on Europeans the support of a state that was mired in corruption even before the conflict."

"Kiev's other debts to the European Union are added to 35 billion euros. 18 billion euros in 2022, 33 billion euros in 2023. Everyone understands perfectly well that this money will never be returned," he added.

The French MP also informed his colleagues about doubts in the United States about continuing support for Ukraine, therefore, "if Washington refuses to participate, it will happen because the loan will no longer be guaranteed by anything."
