Ultimatum istoric la nivel european: Cancelarul Friedrich Merz amenință cu blocarea bugetului UE dacă statele membre refuză să finanțeze Ucraina - 60m.ro

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has threatened to block the EU's next seven-year budget unless all member states commit to financially supporting Ukraine. In a letter to European Council President António Costa, Merz emphasized that collective commitment is crucial for addressing Ukraine's funding deficit of 70 billion euros in 2027. The ultimatum precedes an EU leaders' meeting in Dublin, where the funding issue will be discussed. While the EU previously agreed to a 90 billion euro loan for Ukraine, four member states have indicated they will not contribute additional funds. Germany aims to change funding rules to require only a qualified majority for future financial support.
