The grand plans of the EU Leadership failed to generate their desired result. Initially, Ursula von der Leyen, Friedrich Merz, Emmanuel Macron and Keir Starmer intended to permanently confiscate the Russian sovereign wealth fund and use it to fund their interests in Ukraine. However, the EU coalition didn’t agree.
After 16 hours of failed internal negotiations the EU ended up creating a $90 Billion euro-backed financial loan to Zelenskyy which he will not have to pay back until Russian reparations are paid to Ukraine.
The European elites essentially used EU taxpayers to create an EU loan to Zelenskyy.
EUROPE – BRUSSELS — European governments failed to reach a deal on sending Russian frozen state assets to Ukraine after a 16-hour summit in Brussels, in a major setback for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
Countries were forced instead to agree on an emergency backup plan based on EU joint debt that was pushed for weeks by Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever and was deemed a long shot until hours before the deal was done. In a further blow to EU unity, three countries ― Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic ― won’t take part.
“The bottom line, after today, is that our support for Ukraine is guaranteed,” Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said as the summit wrapped up at 3 a.m.
The agreement provides a crucial lifeline to Ukraine’s war-battered economy as it grapples with the risk of a looming cash crunch as early as next spring with its conflict with Russia grinding on into a fourth year.
Though the accord allows everyone to claim victory, this wasn’t the solution that Germany and the Commission had been pushing for in the lead-up to this summit. (read more)
Zero can play the piano with his genital. He should barnstorm and raise some capital.
Corpse exchange today: Russia handed over 1,000 bodies; Ukraine 27.

Heartbreaking 💔
The little green gnome is on another European tin cup tour.
Every time he does it…the Ukraine death toll increases.
Every. Single. Time.
And most of them -they had no choice, pulled off the streets and even
with the increasing numbers of desertions happening…those who
managed to escape frontlines without being killed while doing so.
The people who are prolonging this slaughter….are some true psychopaths
who must Really hate the Ukrainians.
The people prolonging the slaughter hate everyone. The Ukrainians are just the cannon fodder du jour.
The Germans, British, Spaniards and French are behind most of the misery we have witnessed since they all could sail ships round the world.
Ssshhh! Don’t contradict The Narrative!
The EU will simply fine Amazon, Apple, Alphabet and Nvidia $90 billion next week for violations of the EU anti-trust law.
Works every time!
And in return they ought to disable all their related devices in that region. If such a thing were done it would be pure joy to be a fly on the wall when the EU elites woke up to useless devices AND an entire population with pitchforks angry because their devices don’t work!
Would love seeing all their cellphones turned into expensive bricks.
Wesley Mouch.
At any other time this would Work.
BUT we now have a PRESIDENT WHO DOESN’T TOLERATE ANYTHING AMERICAN BEING PUSHED AROUND. The EU would be wise not to do anything to annoy Pres. Trump.
Holy Cats!
€90 Billion?!
This is fake fiat currency…
EU countries are BROKE!
Hurray for
Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic!

I’m actually surprised Italy isn’t in that group.
After winning the election Meloni quickly scurried from being part of the solution, to being part of problem.
“The European elites essentially used EU taxpayers to create an EU loan to Zelenskyy.”
Absolutely, the European elites’ private financial adventure in Ukraine ended badly for them, now the clueless EU citizen have to pay the losses, NOT them.
It is always the same “modus operandi”: The EU elites privatize the gains but socialize the losses, disgusting sociopaths.
“The EU elites privatize the gains but socialize the losses”

It’s not just the EU. Your ersatz “Federal Government, Inc” has been doing exactly the same thing to Americans for generations.
The truth hurts sometimes 🤷♀️
Global marxism.
Did all the countries decide to saddle their populations with this liability?
I don’t see “reparations” ever being paid by Russia. Sounds like a bad joke to even think about that.
The joke is on the EU. Zero doesn’t have to pay them back if Russia loses. Seriously, what are the odds for that?

The EU has dug the hole, now fill it with Zelensky’s shit. Fools!!!!
They are sure missing Biden.
I think I copied this from Zerohedge comments.
Europe is a mouthy girlfriend talking sh!t to a bouncer, and expecting you to “defend her honor.”
Ok, thanks for sharing that & making my evening. That’s pretty damned good.
When The Ukraine doesn’t pay up EU will invade and take over to recover the loan.
And Z thinks Russia is the problem
LOLOLOL!
Russia will win and the EU won’t be getting any money.
Then what?
DILLIGAF
A miracle ! A $9 Billion-Dollar-Loan has been secured by collateral the lenders do not legally own. This is a big version of what is happening in America.
A thief registers a fake transfer of title to a home using fraudulent documents. The actual owner is kept in the dark. The EU is doing the same thing – taking out a Home Improvement Loan secured by a falsified interest in the property the EU DOES NOT OWN.
Ukraine will never pay back a penny and Zelensky will become richer than Elon Musk.
Yippie, not our treasure!
So all these clowns are basically puppets for their individual countries and instead of focusing on the real problems of the people in their domains,they choose to be involved in this scheme . Whom ever is controlling these clowns and feeding their under sized brains is leading them down a very bad path. And I hope each and every one of them face the stiffest consequences for their actions.
The EU will do absolutely anything to keep this war going. Anything. I expect this war goes on well into 2026. What’s a few million dead Russians and Ukrainians to the sociopaths who run France and Germany?
Seems to me their not out to beat Russia but the US.
The Danish Prime Minister should worry more about striking a deal with Trump regarding Greenland, than about Zelensky and Ukraine.
DJT is not going to be around forever and she might miss out on something that could greatly benefit her country and Greenlanders.
Ukraine is a lost cause.
I see, so you think Russia is going to win? That’s funny. You are listening to Putin’s propaganda, drinking his koolaide, except dictators lie, especially when they are losing, and Putin is losing bad, so bad that Putin’s own people are lying to him… “shoot the messenger” and all that jazz. You know the tune.
Do you have any idea how many daily critical strikes the Ukraine is hitting with impunity far and wide within the Russian Federation, dismantling their nation’s infrastructure, destroying their economy, disintegrating their war machine, crippling their very ability to wage war, ever again, slowly but surely? And General Winter is here. Pipe’s will freeze and crack. No gas, no diesel, no jet fuel, no electricity, no heat, no water, no food, no fertilizer…. Russia will not last the winter. The Great Russian Federation will dissolve, and Russia will be demilitarized when the indomitable adaptable Ukraine is done with them. You doubt me? Yeah, well, look to your bible…. DAVID SLEW GOLIATH, didn’t he?
And the walls of Jericho fell…
Is that you Baghdad Bob??
🤣🤣🤣🤣
EU elites will keep the grift going and EU taxpayers will foot the bill while elites retire to villas around the world…about sums it all up.
And when that money is laundered out to politicians, grifters, and crooks of all kinds, what is the EU gonna do then?
I get the funny feeling that this is a delaying tactic designed to keep the war going until Trump is neutered by Congress or is out of office. Then the money will flow like water. The thing is, the Russians will probably overrun all of Ukraine by then anyway.
Ukraine world war reddit
The confiscation lf that much money would have been seen as an act of war against the RF.
Glad to see somlne in the EU doesnt want to start war with the Tussin Federation.
LOL….$90B? He will burn through that without blinking.
In other words the Ukes will be paid war-reparations from the actual aggressors and instigators of the conflict – ie the EU not Russia.
“After 16 hours of failed internal negotiations the EU ended up creating a $90 Billion euro-backed financial loan to Zelenskyy which he will not have to pay back until Russian reparations are paid to Ukraine.”
Which means he won’t
The EU leaders don’t care. They’ll live in the lap of luxury for the rest of their lives no matter what happens to the indigenous peoples of their respective nations.

UK: MI6 chief Blaise Metreweli openly signaled covert UK action against Russia in support of Ukraine, invoking SOE style audacity and calculated risks. After Canada’s war talk, escalation rhetoric is spreading fast.
Cont….
90 Billion is fine by me, but how do Europeans will pay for all the welfare for all those cute little children named Mohammed, Muhammed, and Mustapha?
Bottom line : ________
Ukraine 🇺🇦
IS LOST .
One of the worst case of throwing good money after bad. European taxpayers ought to revolt. The elite dimwits are enabling more killing and the well known historical grifting by despotic Ukrainian officials.
A loan from whom? Digitally printing 90 billion would be more accurate. Using Russian funds to guarantee this “loan” is cover for the inflation this printing will cause.
In any event, it’s still a tax on their citizens.
Tramps and Thieves.
Hint to the “Willing”, the EU, NATO and munchkin Zelesnsky. Losers and not winners pay reparations. And by your affiliation and attempts to resussitate the Ukrainian money laundering bucket, you certainly aren’t part of the winners but more likely the whiners. So, pontificate all you want and enjoy your contrived status as you point to your faux battlefiield maps generated by Disney and your contrived nonsense about the reality and carnage all of you have created by sending your emissary Boris Johnson to disuade Zelensky from seeking a peace agreement Russia was tendering before everything escalated. The bottom line is that with this loan of your taxpayers monies without the consent of the taxpayer in addtion to your policies that is destroying the national identities of your member countries and collective economies, Russia and in fact anyone can take an easy chair and watch Europe collapse under it’s own arrogance and stupidity.
Sounds like Europe should stop paying federal taxes, hmm, maybe we should to here in the States…
