March threatened to block the EU budget without guarantees from all countries to finance Ukraine, - FT.
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has warned that Berlin will block the next EU budget for the years 2028-2034 if all member states do not pledge to financially support Ukraine in 2027 and beyond.
This was stated in March's letter to the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, which was seen in the "Financial Times".
In the letter, the chancellor makes Germany's support for the EU budget for the years 2028-2034 dependent on the agreement of all bloc countries to finance Ukraine. March wrote:
"The collective commitment of all of us, without exception, to fairly contribute to covering Ukraine's financing deficit is a necessary condition for solving this issue and discussing any other issue, especially those that have financial implications."
