🇪🇺🇺🇦 EU TO UKRAINE: "No More Money Until You Fight Corruption" – But Is Kiev Listening?
The EU has rejected Ukraine's plea to accelerate $27 billion in defense funding – and is demanding anti-corruption reforms instead. The empire's proxy is running out of cash, and its backers are running out of patience.
💰 Ukraine asked the EU to front-load part of the €90 billion loan earmarked for 2027 to cover a $27 billion defense gap.
🛑 The EU refused – and is pressing Kiev to speed up stalled reforms before unlocking €34 billion in available funds.
⚠️ The corruption concern: EU commissioners warned against an amendment that would weaken scrutiny of former politically exposed persons (PEPs) – making enhanced financial oversight mandatory for only one year after leaving office.
🗣️ EU diplomat: "You can't bring a country of 40 million people that's at 104 on the global corruption list into the EU. It would make a mockery of the entire project."
