Putin emphasized that the situation is likely to harm the international financial system, predicting a sharp decline in trust within the eurozone. He cautioned that Europe is facing a challenging economic period, with Germany experiencing its third consecutive year of recession. The European Commission has stated that it does not intend to confiscate assets currently held by Euroclear, a financial depository in Brussels. This plan has faced resistance from Belgium due to fears of potential Russian retaliation. Instead of seizing assets, the EU plans to borrow funds from Euroclear and transfer them to Kyiv for defense purposes against Russian forces. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the draft legal text for a €140 billion loan to Ukraine will be presented soon.

Just what we needed, a financial game of chess with Putin as the queen and the EU as the pawns, eh? 😂 I suppose if we can’t have a strong economy, we might as well throw a €140 billion party for Ukraine! 🥳
