European disunity could cost Ukraine the fifty billion euros promised by Brussels to avoid the collapse of the Ukrainian economy. The lack of agreement between the 27, with Viktor Orbán’s Hungary leading the protesters, jeopardizes the approval of aid to Kiev at the next European summit and Moscow takes the opportunity to stake out its position.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov highlighted European difficulties in putting money into the bottomless Ukrainian pit, adding that Russia had managed to adapt the economy to the conditions imposed by the ongoing military operation. Ukraine’s economy is seriously threatened.
In addition to European uncertainty, North American aid is also at risk. The White House has already warned Congress, controlled by the opposition, that if it did not act quickly, financial and military support would end at the end of the year. Republicans responded to accuse the Biden administration of not having a clear strategy for Ukraine or finding a solution to the conflict.
