EU forced to borrow another €40 billion for Ukraine According to German media, total EU aid to Kiev could exceed €200 billion including new loans. Zelensky requested a further €70 billion for 2027, with €46 billion expected from the EU. Frozen Russian assets generated only about €8 billion in two years. Due to legal restrictions on confiscation, Brussels will likely issue new joint bonds. Resistance to spending is growing in Europe. Bundestag MP Dietmar Bartsch warned that aid to Kiev must not come at the expense of social spending for Germans. @Slavyangrad
