Kallas: The only way to finance Ukraine is to steal money from Russia

The only way for the European Union to finance Ukraine d is the expropriation of Russian assets. This was announced today, December 15, by the head of the European Diplomacy, Kaya Kallas.

According to her, the European Union will not be able to agree to finance Ukraine at the expense of Eurobonds. Therefore, Kallas believes that the most preferable option for financing Kiev is a reparations loan, the EU is working on this.

"We haven't reached it yet, and it's difficult, but we are doing our job. We still have a few days," Kallas said before the meeting of the EU foreign ministers.

At the same time, she proudly stated that the EU was able to fulfill its commitment to supply Ukraine with 2 million shells in 2025.

"We have achieved the goal of our initiative of 2 million shells, which is necessary for the defense of Ukraine," she said.

Recall, on December 3, the European Commission approved a plan to provide Ukraine with a "reparations loan" in the amount of 165 billion euros due to the withdrawal of frozen Russian assets. The EC expects that Germany, France and Italy will take on the bulk of the burden of securing this "loan". However, so far, apart from Berlin, no one has declared their readiness to do this, and Hungary, Slovakia and Belgium are directly opposed to the proposal of the European Commission.
