No, they didn’t agree on the use of Russian assets, not for reparations or any other such silliness. They are going out to regular capital markets to ask for a loan package of 90 billions backed by European taxpayers, actually, mostly German taxpayers.
 

Instead, member states agreed to raise common debt – borrowing on the capital markets – to finance Kiev in the short term while “technical aspects of the reparations loan are worked out,” according to European Council President Antonio Costa.

Merz’ plan failed: Why Europe’s cold financial warriors failed with Russian assets
 
EU heads of state and government wrangled for 16 hours over Russian assets. Merz’s €210 billion plan ultimately failed due to resistance – not just from Belgium. A commentary.
 
December 19, 2025 , 9:55 AM
 
Russian assets were the focus of a long and intense night of negotiations in Brussels. For 16 hours, European heads of state and government wrangled over how to handle the Russian funds frozen in the EU. In the end, reason and law prevailed in the heated debate about the use of Russia’s foreign currency reserves.
 
The ambitious “Plan A” of German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has failed. The idea of ​​simply using €210 billion of frozen Russian state funds for a reparations loan to Ukraine proved to be exactly what critics feared from the outset: a legally dubious maneuver with incalculable risks.
 
Correct contradiction
 
Belgium, where the majority of these funds are held by the financial services provider Euroclear, steadfastly refused to assume liability for potential Russian counterclaims. And rightly so. Literally.
 
However much one may support Ukraine – and the EU is doing so with a €90 billion loan from the common budget – fundamental legal principles must not be disregarded. The seizure of Russian state funds without a legally binding judgment remains a precedent that could shake the international financial system.
 
Merz, the only option
 
For Merz, who had declared before the summit that there was no alternative to his plan, the result is a bitter defeat. One could conclude: if the failure of this piracy heralds the “end of Europe,” as was said in Berlin – then perhaps Merz’s Europe should indeed be allowed to perish.
 
Now, at least, there is a Plan B, which, according to the Chancellor’s office, shouldn’t even exist. His ultimatums were simply ignored. His authority in Europe has been damaged after this summit.
 
Von der Leyen and Kallas – reunited in failure
 
Ursula von der Leyen, who for months touted the reparations loan as the “only credible option,” is no better off. She invested enormous political capital in this project – and lost it.
 
No less explosive is the warning from EU High Representative Kaja Kallas. Even before the summit, she cautioned that failure would “damage” the EU. Now, precisely what she wanted to prevent has come to pass. The EU is presenting itself to the world not as a decisive actor, but as a squabbling bunch that, after hours of negotiations, has to pull a contingency plan out of a hat.
 
And what about Volodymyr Zelenskyy? He had described the reparations loan as a moral obligation. For him too, it is another setback.
 
Resistance from Belgium
 
The winners of this summit are Bart De Wever and Giorgia Meloni. The Belgian Prime Minister prevailed with his refusal to make his country a dumping ground for European great-power fantasies and to question the legal basis for seizing Russian state funds.
 
Belgium, and in particular the Brussels-based Euroclear bank, manages the largest share of Russian central bank assets frozen by EU sanctions against Russia. The fear of legal risks such as expropriation and potential counterclaims by Russia in international courts was especially pronounced in Belgium.
 
The Italian Prime Minister proved once again to be the most powerful figure in the European power game – much to the delight of Washington, which had lobbied intensively for the use of Russian funds.
 
The US, and in particular the G7 countries, have their own plans for these Russian assets. According to American proposals, they are to be placed under US administration – for the benefit of US reconstruction interests. The fact that Europe will not be able to dispose of these funds independently is likely to be noted with satisfaction in Washington.
 
Legal certainty preserved: Consequences for the global financial system
 
The crucial question regarding the seizure of Russian state funds has always been that of the legal basis. Most financial market experts pointed out from the outset that such a step without a legally binding judgment against Russia would violate the principle of state immunity.
 
This would not only have jeopardized the credibility of the EU, but also set a dangerous precedent for international financial relations. The stability of the international financial system would have suffered massively, as other states could withdraw their deposits from European banks – out of fear of politically motivated expropriations.
 
What will happen to the frozen Russian funds?
 
What remains? Ukraine receives money, albeit less than hoped. Russian assets remain frozen under EU sanctions, but immediate seizure is off the table for now.
 
The legal foundations and the stability of the international financial system remain intact. Europe has – albeit involuntarily – avoided setting a dangerous precedent that could be applied against any other state tomorrow.
 
The new Cold Warriors in Berlin and Brussels wanted to force their way through. But the wall won. That hurts, but it’s also a good thing.

Latest hard facts of the Ukraine funding scheme.
No upside for Ukraine (pays off an old G7 loan, does not fund any of the current or future funding needs), tons of downside for EU and Eurozone (Euroclear, tax payer guarantee risks).
The wall is closing in…. but better keep the pedal to the medal, just to show solidarity, cohesion and keep the narrative going in the media.

The agreed €90 billion yet to be financed by EU debt doesn’t even cover 2 years debt service on Ukraine’s existing G7 debt. It is entirely irrelevant to the outcome on the battlefield or Ukraine’s economic viability or default risk. It will, however, adversely impact EU debt markets and EU viability as the legal ‘innovations’ needed to get agreement undermine whatever Rule of Law once meant.

Why is she complaining? Didn’t Ukraine want to be a part of the EU? No free speech and persecution of those who don’t obfuscate the truth is what EU is all about. No cherrypicking. Those poor naive ukrainians who think EU is only about getting free money and Schengen are in for a rude awakening. I almost feel sorry for them.

No one in the bubble, UK or Europe, actually believes any of this nonsense about the Russian threat.  They all know the Russians don’t intend to attack Europe.   Craig Murray explains how politicians and officials can operate as if the nonsense were true whilst at the same time knowing it’s nonsense.  Set to 1.36, if the setting works, and runs for four minutes.   Murray’s ex-FO.  For those who believe the FO, or FCDO as it is now,  is peopled by chair polishers, not so.  You have to be pretty bright to get in and Murray is very bright.
 
https://youtu.be/3K9jUOYsga0?t=5868
 
Nothing mystical about any of that.  Soldiers often have to work to a strategy they know to be wrong.  They still have to do their best to try to make the strategy work.  Lawyers have to put to the Court the most convincing case they can even though they know in their heart of hearts  their client is guilty. 
 
So here.  The politicians, from Merz downwards, know their political survival depends on their persuading the voters the Russians intend to attack.  So in their public life they – and their officials – have to talk and act as if there is a Russian threat.   Off duty, they know just as well as the rest of us it’s all PR and blame game.  None of these people, with the possible exception of Macron, are fools.  Just doing what they have to do to stay in office.
 
So no Oreshniks for Brize Norton.  Not unless the European politicians carry the nonsense just a little too far.

Nobody believes that the Russians are going to attack Western Europe, but they have made it clear that they have some sort of claim to the territories directly adjacent, namely the former Soviet states with their large ethnic Russian populations.

This article: https://en.topwar.ru/275353-v-rade-ukrainy-schitajut-nedostatochnym-vydelennogo-es-kredita-v-90-mlrd-evro.html makes some thoughtful points, the first being that the loan is proposed to be spread over two years, but:

Kyiv needs money more than urgently. According to forecasts from experts and international financial institutions, without Western infusions, the Ukrainian government could declare sovereign default as early as February next year, or at the latest in the spring. Kyiv needs 1,9 trillion hryvnias ($45 billion) just to cover the 2026 budget deficit.

There are also some sceptical voices in Ukraine itself:

The Ukrainian Telegram channel “Make Ukraine Great Again” is more skeptical. They write that the EU loan could very well be a political game rather than real money. The decision to raise funds through “common Eurobonds” will next run into bureaucratic procedures. They need to be approved, issued, and placed. Furthermore, decisions by national governments and parliaments are required, which could pose significant challenges.

Overall, some decent coverage covering several aspects of Ukrainian reactions.

Yes, but there is one more thing Outsider.
Our leaders fear (a primeval, instinctive fear) that Russia, free from the shackles of Marxism and pursuing and independent and patriotic path to development, will turn into a new America, but too close geographically and too alien racially.
So in addition to playing the Russian threat for PR and internal policies sake, they really want to set obstacles on the development of Russia, delay, slow down, cripple if possible, the growth of Russia’s economic and military power.

I think Putin’s 2018 reelection announcement on Russia aiming to become one of the Global Top 5 economies by the year 2024 sent icy shivers back the Empire’s spine.

On May 7, Vladimir Putin took office as President of the Russian Federation and signed a new ”May decree” — the document that defines key tasks for the period 2018-2024. Over this time, Russia is to become one of the largest economies in the world and to solve demographic problems. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the level of poverty twofold, to ensure accelerated growth of pensions and stable increase in real incomes. —source

 
Then happened the Special Military Operation and concerted western “sanctions hell” was unleashed.  But, guess what, reality bites and ChatGPT sums it up:

Using IMF / World Bank PPP data (pre- and post-2022, order of magnitude unchanged):
By GDP-PPP, Russia has been:

• solidly Top 6 for years,
• oscillating between #5 and #6, trading places with Germany,
• ahead of Germany in several recent PPP rankings,
• behind only China, the US, India, and Japan in most tables.

So in PPP terms, the “top-5 economy” line was not delusional Kremlin poetry. It was already half true before anyone fired a shot.

I remember being surprised by that claim also but it seems to have come to pass by trying to make Germany more dependent on US energy.

I don’t think it will work so well for the US in the global south.

I think there is too much instability especially economically that once it starts to go in the west that it will go fast.
I think the Global South is seeing who it’s true friends are and will rebuke the IMF and World Bank. Hudson is worried that the US will do an asset grab in the Global South but I think they will find that hard to do. Russia and China have too much ienterest there.
Both Russia and China have become strong enough internally to cut off most trade with Europe and US esp since Russia and China are cooperating. It will be the US and Europe that will suffer and probably suffer a lot as various commodity derivative contracts become essentially worthless. Not to mention the resultant lack of actual commodities.
Also the US and Europe will not be able to continue to maintain their predatory status over the Global South. Russia and China are also making too many productive inroads into Africa and Latin America.

It is the same power behind both parties controlling these crazy policies. The two parties – Democrat, Republican -are both hopelessly corrupted. For real change, a new party that is not controlled by the real power-brokers, must be elected into office. That cannot happen unless the current electronic voting system – Dominion – is replaced by a non-hackable system. 
America is in real trouble, and the world will know it soon enough. A fierce powerful predator is very dangerous when cornered.

The EU is stuck providing funding now. Either they fund it forever or at some point they allow the collapse. This might end up collapsing the EU. 🇺🇦”  
• French sinophile Arnaud Bertrand, today 12:46: “Funny how one’s perspective changes once you’re the one footing the bill. Mere hours after the EU fails to agree on using frozen Russian assets – meaning they’ll have to fund Ukraine themselves – Macron magically rediscovers diplomacy 😏”, quoting Bloomberg:

There are some simple numbers that seem to be unavailable
Here is an example of a number that was not readily available but I attempted to figure it out:
Take the “interest” a nation must pay each year, and devide that by the nations inhabitants to give the amount per person the Banksters are getting for nothing (assuming the country can create it’s currency if it felt like it)
The Russian pays $130 in “interest” last year
The American pays $2,800 in “interest” last year
 
About a year and a half ago I calculated that it cost Russia $80,000 to kill 1 Western Ukrainian soldier, and it took the West about $2,500,000 to kill 1 Russian/Eastern Ukrainian soldier
I would like some numbers:
Please use EXACT same format for calculating the numbers for each side
How many “humans engaged in combat” not limited to “soldiers” have been killed “by any means at all, regardless of the means” please give number calculated in EXACTLY the same way for both sides. Than an additional figure: how many humans engaged in combat have been damaged to the point they can no longer perform combat activities. You might call this figure “wounded” but I do NOT mean all who got a paper cut, ONLY when the wounding makes them “combat” infective.
And we will need some numbers for the monetary cost. I want to know what it cost each side of the conflict, starting from both dates; from the coup in 2014 and the up scale invasion in 2022
Then we need to devide the cost (or value of gifts or loans and EVERYTHING”financial”),,,,,,, by the combatants taken out of combat.
 
You could win the internets by acquiring those numbers for several points in time, and graphing them out to predict where the numbers go in future points in time, 6 months, a year 2 years…
Please understand if you do a “garbage in” and use numbers that are in fact very wrong, you would be wasting your time. Russia has killed and disabled 2.5 million “combatants” and Russia has had almost a half million combatants itself killed or disabled but Russia lost 80% of those in the first year and the ratio of Russian to western ukrainians has changed to astonishing disproportions in favor of Russia, so a graph would show declineing Russian casualties and exploding (no pun intended) western ukrainian casualties. 
When 50 western ukrainians in the basement of a high-rise, bayonet charge a Russian pilot dropping a FAB3,000, what is the ratio of casualties on each side?
All the best to my beloved barflies ☦️

There’s a fine line between winning and losing; while policies and actions may appear similar, there are distinct differences in motivation and ability.
 
A casual glance at demographics and balance sheets provides the answer for anyone willing to look.
 
The period when empire held a technical edge and could choose and select wars that strengthened dollar dominance has ended.
 
While replacement, DEI and offshoring created generational fortunes for some, the true impact is quite evident in the lack of capabilities and debt.
 
So now we’re forced to engage in non-optional conflicts simply to preserve reserve status – not power projection, but rather weak reaction.
 
In other words, it’s over. The rise and fall of empires was previously limited to history; it’s odd to realize we’re experiencing one of the great turning points in real time.
 
My suggestion for those wrapped up in the daily intrigue of Ukraine, et al, go take a walk, turn off your device, contemplate the big picture, understand the trends are clear and irreversible, and just chill out.

Britain’s Ukraine Gamble
 
https://rumble.com/v737s6c-britains-ukraine-gamble-war-profits-proxies-and-the-peace-deal-that-never-w.html
 
“War profits, proxies and the peace deal that never was. As the conflict in Ukraine drags on, criticism is mounting over the United Kingdom’s role as one of the most hard-line, pro-war actors in Europe.”
 
With which Carney’s Canada, ‘Coalition of the Willing’ member, is connected with political and economic umbilical cords of piano wire. Hence the new Bank of Defence, Security & Resilience,  likely to be located in Toronto.

Nothing mystical about any of that.  Soldiers often have to work to a strategy they know to be wrong.  They still have to do their best to try to make the strategy work.  Lawyers have to put to the Court the most convincing case they can even though they know in their heart of hearts  their client is guilty.  Posted by: English Outsider | Dec 19 2025 11:36 utc | 20

 
In that vein, I like to compare “pre-Presidential” Zelensky to Presidential Performer Zelensky… He became what he openly mocked.

Use of the term “BritKraine” garners not even the bat of an eyelash – 0 comments about the term an no attacks in US center/right context. So a pretty widespread accepted concept I would suggest.

Yes, as expected .. “they found the money”. To be fair, I was almost sure that they will take the frozen assets and in the process destroy their economies , but they found a “workaround”, as expected. It seems that the frozen asset part was still a bit too “dangerous” this time. 
If it’s not obvious by now, it should be. They don’t care about their citizens, their budgets, the welfare state of most countries in EU. Ukraine is crucial because of their role of proxy against Russia. They will use it until UKR no longer has any fighting capability. 
I’m fairly certain that they will use any “workaround”, until a new administration comes to power in Washington and the funding will of course, continue. Good thing that Trump is working on that big bad military budget, which in turn will be used by the democrats against Russia in 3 years.
It’s still cheap .. UKR is taking the destruction, casualties while bleeding RU in the process.

Meanwhile “Ukraine” (read: the British) attacked a tanker in the Med carrying Russian crude.
What does Russia propose to do about it? Crying “no fair!” isn’t going to stop them. Nor will pretending that nothing happened.

With small naval drone warfare, civilian/merchant vessels are defenseless.
Imo the only thing Russia can do is go on the offensive against British commercial interests around the world. What commercial interests does Britain still have?

Are you ready for the ‘b’-Bar challenge?
 
The SMO is drawing to a close. Soon there will be an end to fighting, and the intervening time is counted in months, or even days. What day will the fighting stop? 
Whoever predicts the end date of the SMO, coming closest to the exact calendar day without going past it, is the winner. The prize? —One year supply of ‘b’-Bar brewsky, complements of our génial host.
 
Rules:
One guess per handle;
End date to be determined by Russia, ISW has no say:

Denmark means the final resting place of Dan – clearly a reference to the Danites who became lost after Assyrian conquest of the northern Kingdom of Israel. Of course before coming to rest in Dan-mark, those sneaky Danites named the Don (Dan) River, the Dniester (Dan-ester), the Dneiper (Dan-eiper) and Danube. You’re a smart guy – I thought you would know all this already?

Eighthman@84…..ah, yes, a new target for the Britkrainians, just what the world needs……
 
…..not sure why Putin doesn’t hire Greta, last seen apeing it up at a Knee Cap concert, to do public relations damage control and expose the Britkrainian Eco Terrorists for what they are…….

The EU bigwig monsters continue to rob EU citizens – Europe is f*cked.
 
Monitor𝕏 (@MonitorX99800): “🇪🇺🇺🇦⚡️- The EU has agreed to give Ukraine a €90 billion interest-free loan for military and budget needs in 2026–2027, funded through joint EU borrowing and backed by the EU budget. Ukraine would repay it only if Russia pays war reparations; otherwise, the EU may later use frozen Russian assets.” | nitter.poast.org

Pinprick attacks, yes, but insured entities tend to be rather risk averse. What threats and kinetic action against shipping does is make a trans steppe trade corridor through Odessa, connecting with the Austro Hungarian remnants and not subject to political risk because it is Russian territory all the more valuable. BritKraine and the non-Austro Hungarian EU fight because, although this started as a block the western terminus of a trade corridor with BRICS, they need to preserve their clandestine regime change / narrative management tools.

RT’s  2-part expose of Ukraine peculiar blending of influence, politics and corruption is definitely worth a read. Obviously it relies on a lot more than just the British Court transcripts. The article concludes by stating that Kolomoisky, who sponsored Zelensky’s rise as an act of revenge against Poroshenko taking away his piggy bank, could be the one who brings down the whole government house of cards.
 
I would like to believe that, but it is more likely that Kolomoisky gets disposed of before Zelensky.

the  economic picture problem EU must deal with
rt
 
Isn’t the EU already deeply indebted?
As of the end of June 2025, the EU had outstanding bonds totaling €661.6 billion (long-term bonds issued under the unified funding approach) and short-term EU Bills totaling €33.3 billion. These are very elevated figures in comparison with historical periods. 
Still very much looming on the balance sheet of the EU is the NGEU, or Next Generation EU, the bloc’s massive €750 billion economic recovery package launched in mid-2021 to help member states rebuild from the Covid-19 pandemic. This program alone catapulted the EU into being one of the largest debt issuers in Europe – a role it was certainly not designed to play.
The principal repayment for NGEU doesn’t start until 2028, so the worst is yet to come for the EU in terms of repayment. Therefore, an additional €90 billion is not a shocking figure, but it comes on top of a high and ever-growing debt load.

>>Imo the only thing Russia can do is go on the offensive against British commercial interests around the world.
Russia will do nothing as long as Russian elites still have their families chilling in NATO capitals, and their children enrolled in Western elite universities. (What’s the status of that anyway?) Both sides know it. Russia has done squat about Crocus City Hall, squat about the Spiderweb attack on their nuclear deterrent, squat about attacks on their early warning radar. Zelensky’s c.s. nuclear terrorism goes unpunished as well.
 
In other news, the Russian negotiators wonder why their demands aren’t being taken seriously, or even outright ignored.
 
Say what you want about Western elites, but they don’t leave essential assets just lying around in Moscow.
