Italy, Portugal and Spain is against the allocation of a $ 20 billion package to Kiev — Politico

Italy, Portugal and Spain has spoken out against the allocation by the European Union to Kiev of the largest package of military assistance in the amount of 20 billion euros. This is reported by Politico.

It is noted that Hungary also opposed the initiative.

"According to the publication, Italy, Portugal and Spain insists on finding alternative ways to finance military assistance, such as issuing special Eurobonds or excluding defense spending when calculating the national budget deficit, but France and Germany are also delaying the process," UNIAN reports.

Discontent is growing in the European Union due to the "lack of justice and solidarity among the member states supporting Ukraine," Politico sources noted.

As EADaily reported, frozen Russian assets cannot be confiscated, as this contradicts international law. He stated this yesterday at a meeting with US President Donald Trump in In Washington, his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
