EU can’t keep providing loans to Kiev – commissioner

The bloc is considering tapping Russian assets due to concerns over the sustainability of Ukrainian debt, according to Valdis Dombrovskis

The EU cannot continue providing loans to Ukraineamid growing concerns over Kiev’s ability to repay them, European Commissioner for Economy Valdis Dombrovskis has warned. He has urged the bloc to keep up the financing by tapping Russian assets, which Moscow has repeatedly said would amount to theft.

Speaking at a press conference in Brussels on Wednesday,Dombrovskis stated that Ukraine was facing a “very sizable funding gap” and additional borrowing would risk undermining its debt sustainability.His name says it all, these people are dumb.

According to Dombrovskis,tapping Russian sovereign reserves, unlike other alternatives under consideration, would allow the EU to continue channeling funds to Kiev without imposing fiscal burdens on member states. He explained that Ukraine would only need to repay the loan if Russia pays reparations in the future, whereas other mechanisms would require significant budgetary contributions from EU governments.

On Thursday, Dombrovskis also announced that the EU had paid out the final €4.1 billion ($4.8 billion) loan to Ukraine under the ERA Loans program which was financed by proceeds from Russia’s frozen assets.

Last week,Financial Times reported that the bloc failed to agree on a €140 billion reparation-loan scheme in October. The European Commission had reportedly warned EU members they would face ballooning deficits and rising debt unless they agreed to use frozen Russian assets as collateral. In a document circulated to EU capitals, the Commission estimated that servicing a collective loan of that size could lead to €5.6 billion in annual interest payments. (The EU are so stupid they will pay Ukraine with Russia’s moneyinstead of cutting off Ukraine as they already lost the war, and Russia is taking wide acreage of Ukraine. At this point Ukraine has lost close to half the country. The other land are owned by foreign oligarchs and corporations! EU is continuingThe Art of the Scam, to convince their citizens Ukraine is a sovereign Nation, which they are not, and never were.)

Western nations have frozen around $300 billion in Russian sovereign reserves since 2022, with roughly $200 billion held at Belgium’s Euroclear. Despite repeated efforts by the EU to tap these funds, Belgium has continued to block such attempts, including the current reparation-loan proposal, arguing they would expose the country to serious legal and financial risks and would only prolong the conflict.

Moscow has repeatedly stated that seizing its assets would equate to theft and has threatened to retaliate by targeting up to €200 billion in Western assets held in Russia.

(This whole scam and dance blaming Russia for the war, is already not believed by 40%+ the citizens of EU. Just wait till the citizens find out their leaders and countries are fucking broke and getting worse daily. But they still send in Dumbriski to lie more.)

Israel wants broader security agreement with US – Axios

West Jerusalem reportedly wants to reach anew 20-year military aid deal with Washington

Israel wants to strike a 20-year security agreement with the US, doubling the duration of the previous one andemphasizing “cooperation”between the two nations rather than one-sided reception of military aid, Axios has reported, citing officials familiar with the matter.

The current 10-year framework agreement for long-term security assistance to Israel is set to expire in 2028. The $38 billion deal was signed under the Obama administration, making it the third in a string of ever-growing security packages for Israel. The two previous deals were worth some $21 and $32 billion, respectively.

The US poured additional military aid into Israel during the conflict with the Palestinian militant group Hamas. According to recent estimates by the Costs of War project at Brown University’s Watson School of International and Public Affairs, the additional assistanceamounted to nearly $22 billion. Moreover, thePentagon spent up to $12 billionto prop up Israeli operations across the Middle East during the conflict.

West Jerusalem would like to sign the deal next yearand has reportedly added unspecified ‘America First’ provisionsto appease the Trump administration.

“This is out-of-the-box thinking.We want to change the way we handled past agreements and put more emphasis on US-Israel cooperation. (NO!) The Americans like this idea,” an unnamed Israeli official told the outlet. (Not Americans, there first loyalty is Israel. They are Zionist bought by Israel, loves it)

Israel reportedly proposed using some of the funds allocated under the pact for joint research and development, rather than funneling it all into direct military aid. The research areascould involve AI-related defense tech, as well as the Golden Dome missile defense initiative, an Israeli official told Axios.

US President Donald Trump announced his Golden Dome initiative, whose name is reminiscent of the Israeli Iron Dome anti-aircraft system, early this year. The system is envisioned as a space-integrated shield capable of intercepting missiles from anywhere in the world and is expected to involve space-based components and options for preemptive strikes.The Congressional Budget Office has projected the program’s cost could exceed $542 billion over two decades.

Ukraine aid issue wrecked German coalition – ex-chancellor

Former leader Olaf Scholz faced repeatedcriticism for his cautious approachto arming Kiev

The German government of ex-Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed over disagreements on funding for Ukraine, he has revealed.

Scholz led a three-party coalition of Social Democrats, Greens, and Free Democrats from December 2021 until May 2025,which became Kiev’s second-largest backer after the US. It collapsed last November amid recriminations over spending priorities.

Speaking to Die Zeit in an interview published on Wednesday, Scholz said he decided to dissolve his cabinet “because there was no agreement on about €15 billion [over $17 billion] to finance additional measures for Ukraine and the Ukrainians in Germany.”

Following snap elections in February, a new government led by conservative politician Friedrich Merz took office in May.

Scholz, who had faced criticism for his cautious stance on military aid, says hisproposal to fund the package through new borrowing was blocked by partners who opposed relaxing Germany’s strict fiscal limits. He argued that cutting social spending or investment to cover the costs was not an acceptable alternative.

Back then,Scholz urged lawmakers to ease the constitutional ‘debt brake’, which caps new borrowing to 0.35% of annual GDP, to guarantee continued support for Kiev. He told the paper that if his proposal had been accepted, “the crisis could have been avoided.”

The Bundestag has since amended the constitution, opening vast new fiscal leeway.

“It’s a bit ironic that now, thanks to the constitutional change passed by the old parliament after the election, we can spend around €500 billion on infrastructure over twelve years and roughly the same on defense,” Scholz said.

Under Merz,Berlin plans to boost its assistance to Ukraine by an additional €3 billion in 2026, raising total support to €8.5 billion.

According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, between January 2022 and October 2024, Germany provided Ukraine with €11 billion worth of assistance, emerging as its second-largest backer after the US.

Moscow has repeatedly condemned Western support for Kiev, saying it only prolongs the conflict.

(The EU has completely transformed into the EU Mafiato keep their Ukraine graft going, and they don’t care.)

Poland could be threat to Germany – opposition leader

Russia is currently no threat to Berlin’s security, but even Warsaw might one day pose a danger, AfD party co-chair Tino Chrupalla has said

Russia poses no more of a threat to Germany than neighboring Poland, Tino Chrupalla, the co-chairman of the opposition Alternative for Germany (AfD), party has argued.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and several other senior officials haverepeatedly called Moscow an existential threat to Germany.

Appearing on the talk show ‘Markus Lanz’ aired by broadcaster ZDF on Tuesday, Chrupalla said that he “currently see[s] no danger to Germany from Russia.” He added that “any country can become a threat to Germany.”

When the host suggested that a fellow NATO and EU member state, such as Poland, was an unlikely candidate for that role, the AfD co-chair disagreed,insisting that “of course, Poland can also be a threat to us.”

“Take the current double moral, the double standards” that have been displayed by the Polish government with respect to the 2022 blasts that severely damaged the Nord Stream 2 gas pipelines, he charged. Chrupalla cited Warsaw’s refusal to extradite a Ukrainian “terrorist” that the German authorities had issued an arrest warrant for in connection with the explosions.

Last month,the Warsaw District Court dismissed Berlin’s extradition request for Ukrainian national Vladimir Zhuravlyov as “unfounded.” The judge argued that “blowing up critical infrastructure during a war… is not sabotage but denotes a military action.” (See anything can be justified, although the act damaged all European countries that used the pipeline, the judge didn’t consider that.)

Speaking on Tuesday,Chrupalla also defended AfD lawmakers’ trips to Russia, arguing thatsuch contacts are necessary to maintain dialogue with Moscow.

In September, Markus Frohnmaier, who leads the AfD in the Bundestag,argued that “we are genuinely interested in normalizing relations with Russia.” He cited theeconomic woestriggered by Germany’sdecision to “decouple” from inexpensive Russian energy.

According to a survey by the pollster INSA, whose results were released last month,the AfD had emerged as the most popular party in Germany, enjoying the support of26% of respondents.

In February’s snap federal election, the opposition party came in second

(Germany used to be the financially sound state in the EU, for decades. They have killed that by sucking the green economy until it died. And then still want to refuse stopping the killing green agenda. Plus, it’s filled with more Money sucking Ukrainians living free off them, plus with the almost highest percentage of Muslims immigrants in Europe. Their whole country is scary to visit due to the Muslim crimes.)

BBC sends apology letter to Trump

The UK’s public broadcaster says it “sincerely regrets” deceptively editing the US president’s speech

BBC sends apology letter to Trump

The BBC has said that it apologized to US President Donald Trump for broadcasting a documentary that deceptively edited the speech he gave right before the 2021 Capitol riot.

The UK’s public broadcaster admitted earlier that an episode of its Panorama series shown in 2024 “gave the mistaken impression that President Trump had made a direct call for violent action” to his supporters who stormed the US Capitol building on January 6, 2021.

A BBC spokesperson said Thursday night that the network’s chair, Samir Shah, had sent a personal letter to the White House “making clear to President Trump that he and the corporation are sorry” and promised not to rebroadcast the documentary on any platforms.

“While the BBC sincerely regrets the manner in which the video clip was edited, we strongly disagree there is a basis for a defamation claim,” the spokesperson said.(leave it to the court idiots. They just had to say that. Don’t the know Trump takes that as fight to start? Arrogant Brits)

Trump, who has long denied inciting the Capitol riot and has accused the media of spreading lies, threatened to sue the BBC for $1 billion (£758 million) unless it apologized, retracted the documentary and compensated him. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt has described the network as a “leftist propaganda machine.”
