🇪🇺🇺🇦 Von der Leyen pushes through!

The European Commission has revealed what it has planned for the December 18th Summit in regards to continued funding for Ukraine:

🔶 Seizing the Russian assets stuck in Belgian banks and issuing the reparation loan

🔶 Issue additional loans from the EU budget

Even though there are no legal means for the Commission to seize the Russian assets, Ursula VDL wants to create those legal means through a binding act (Regulation). In addition, she also wants to ban member states from allowing the return of other assets owned by the Russian Central Bank back to Russia and some unspecified safeguards to defend member states from future litigation.

So, not only is the EU Commission going forward with the asset scheme, they are also going forward with emptying more of the EU's budget which will require member states to raise new taxes.

The criticisms iterated previously by Belgium and others were ignored. Nothing UVDL has proposed today addresses what was said before but the European Commission is more than ready to sacrifice the economies of its member states and the wellbeing of its citizens to continue destroying Ukraine.

UVDL stated that this is necessary to cover Ukraine's funding needs but a closer look at Ukraine's expenses and presuming that Ukrainian politicians don't embezzle the funds, the seizure of all Russian assets stuck in European banks estimated to be worth around ~212 billion$ would last Ukraine at most, two years.
