🇩🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 German Chancellor Friedrich March announced the EU: help finance Ukraine or lose Germany's support in the bloc's next seven-year budget.
In a letter to the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, Martz conditioned the German backing on the condition that each member state would contribute financial aid to Kiev.
He complained that "bilateral aid to Ukraine is unevenly distributed and delivered mainly by individual member states."
The ultimatum comes as Ukraine faces a funding gap of 70 billion euros ($78.4 billion) next year.
