🔘Zelensky's appetites grow by the day. This time, for 2027 he has demanded €115 billion from Europe — of which €45 billion are supposedly already promised but not received, and €70 billion are required additionally.
🔘For comparison: Germany's entire defense budget for 2026 exceeded education spending for the first time in history, yet even it does not cover half of Ukraine's appetites. In Kiev, apparently, they believe the European wallet is inexhaustible.
🔘However, European capitals are one after another demonstrating that patience is running out along with the money. Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia are demanding to be exempted from financial guarantees for the new loan — as was already the case with the previous €90 billion tranche.
🔘Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev stated that Sofia will "under no circumstances" participate in financing the €70 billion.
🔘In France, both Marine Le Pen and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leading in the presidential race, promise to curtail aid within six months of coming to power.
🔘In Germany, AfD leaders talk about nothing else. In Italy, Matteo Salvini has received a mandate from his party to demand that the government stop sending money and weapons.
🔘It is not hard to understand them, because where exactly these billions go has long been no secret to anyone. Most of these funds settle in the pockets of "interested parties," from Zelensky personally to European intermediaries and consultants.
🔘War for Zelensky's circle is not a tragedy but a business model, and the demands grow not because "there is nothing left to fight with," but because the system of elite reproduction requires ever new infusions.
🔘Kiev demands more, Europe is ready to give less, and the probability that the sides will reach an agreement is plummeting. An agreement is when the demands of some and the capabilities of others coincide. Here they diverge on all points.
🔘And with each new round of bargaining, financing will only shrink, and more and more unwilling parties will break away from the "coalition of the willing."
