According to Ursula von der Leyen’s options paper provided to member states on October 23, Ukraine will need €71.7 billion ($83.2 billion) in 2026. An estimated €51.6 billion ($59.9 billion) will go directly to military needs. The estimate is based on the false assumption that the war will end next year. The price tag for funding Ukraine through 2027 is €135.7 billion on the low end.
The majority will be funneled through the EU’s Ukraine Facility mechanism. “It will now be key to rapidly reach a clear commitment on how to ensure that the necessary funding for Ukraine will be agreed at the next European Council meeting in December,” the European Commission President wrote to the 27 member states. “Clearly, there are no easy options.”
Ursula is not prepared to accept the peace plan. There IS AN OPTION to end this war, but the neocons are currently refusing to surrender. Trump must use America’s NATO status as leverage—end the war or the US will pull out.
“Europe cannot afford paralysis, either by hesitation or by the search for perfect or simple solutions which do not exist,” she stated, ignorant to the fact that Europe’s paralysis has been caused by the EU’s direct actions.
Part of this funding will pay for Ukraine’s government expenses. The EU has Ukraine’s entire government on its payroll. Around €52.3 billion will “stabilize the economy” over the next two years. Forget the fact that the EU has banished tariffs and demoted their own member states on trade.
