Germany threatens to block the EU budget unless all European countries help Ukraine. Financial Times.
German Chancellor Martz has warned that she will block the next seven-year EU budget unless all EU members commit to financial support for Ukraine in 2027 and beyond.
In a letter to the president of the European Council, Kostya, Martz agrees to the bloc's budget for the years 2028-2034. Depends on the willingness of all EU countries to finance Ukraine, whose financing gap in 2027 is 70 billion euros:.
"A collective commitment that we will all, without exception, fairly contribute to closing this gap is a prerequisite for solving this issue and discussing any additional issue, especially those related to the financial consequences. We must then find a solution supported by all member states that will ensure a secure and long-term funding perspective for Ukraine from 2028 onwards. ".
