Well, that's all: "Financing Kiev from the EU budget is impossible"

The EU no longer has the opportunity to allocate money to support Ukraine from the budget. This was announced today, November 13, following a meeting of the EU Council on Economics and Finance, European Commissioner for Economics Valdis Dombrovskis.

"In the current multi-year budget plan of the EU (until 2027) there is no space for financing Ukraine. To do this, it will be necessary to make adjustments to it," he said.

However, making adjustments to the current seven-year EU budget plan requires the unanimity of all community countries and increasing contributions to the budget The EU is a member of the community, which is almost unrealistic, TASS points out.

According to Dombrovskis, the only way to finance Ukraine in 2026-2027 are grant or gratuitous schemes, for the implementation of which the countries The EU may try to expropriate Russia's assets or take government loans on their own and service them, spending money on Ukraine.

As reported by EADaily, earlier Dombrovskis said that the EU and the IMF can no longer attract commercial loans for this country, which are also serviced by external financial assistance. The reason is the insolvency of Ukraine and the extremely high risks of non-repayment of loans by Kiev, which leads to very high interest rates.

The day before, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, following a meeting of the foreign ministers of the G7 countries in the Canadian province of Ontario, admitted that the United States had almost exhausted the potential for imposing additional restrictions on Russia.
