BRUSSELS — In a SHOCKING surrender to Russian intimidation, European Union leaders have JUST agreed to shackle their own taxpayers with a COLOSSAL $106 BILLION loan to Ukraine, after a single nation’s cowardice blocked the seizure of frozen Russian assets. This is a STAGGERING victory for Vladimir Putin and a BETRAYAL of European resolve.
Despite sitting on a FORTUNE of over $246 billion in frozen Russian state funds—money stained with Ukrainian blood—the EU caved to threats from the Kremlin. Belgium, hosting the bulk of the assets, BLOCKED the plan, terrified of Russian legal retaliation against its financial institutions. The result? YOU, the European citizen, are now on the hook for a debt-financed bailout of a foreign war, while Putin’s illicit funds remain UNTOUCHABLE.
The so-called “compromise” is a DISGRACE. Hardworking families across Europe will see their economic futures mortgaged to fund a conflict with NO END IN SIGHT. Meanwhile, the EU’s most notorious Putin apologist, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, celebrated a “double victory,” bragging he saved his people from debt and prevented a “declaration of war” on Russia. His triumph exposes the FRACTURED and WEAK core of the European project.
EU officials DARE to claim they still “reserve the right” to use Russian assets later. This is a FANTASY. This decision sends a CLEAR and CATASTROPHIC message to the Kremlin: European threats are BLUFFS, and its money is SAFE. It tells Ukraine that Western support comes with a crippling IOU, while assuring dictators everywhere that their stolen wealth is protected by European fear. The foundations of international law and financial warfare have been rendered MEANINGLESS in a single, capitulating night. The West has officially chosen DEBT over JUSTICE.
