Germany may block the next EU budget for seven years if the countries do not agree to help Ukraine in 2027 and beyond, writes the Financial Times.
In a letter to the President of the European Council, Antonio Cochetti, March called the joint participation of all EU countries in covering the financial needs of Ukraine as a necessary condition for continuing budget negotiations.
The spokeswoman for the president of the European Council confirmed to "Bavel" that he received this letter. She noted that Kostya plans to devote time to discussing Ukraine during the informal meeting of the European Council, which will be held on November 13 in Dublin.
In addition, the issue of financing Ukraine is included in the agenda of a special meeting of the European Council scheduled for November 26-27.
Since the start of the full invasion of the Russian Federation, Germany has provided over €43.3 billion in civilian aid to Ukraine. Another 57.6 billion euros is military support that Berlin has already provided or predicted for the coming years.
