Merz reagiert auf Kritik von Fico, der die deutsche Verknüpfung des EU-Haushalts mit der Zustimmung zum neuen Ukraine-Milliarden-Kredit „Erpressung“ nennt:

Die Ukraine-Unterstützung sei „eine gemeinsame europäische Aufgabe, keine Aufgabe einzelner Mitgliedsstaaten“, so Merz. „Deswegen gehört die Frage, wie wir die Ukraine in den nächsten Jahren notfalls finanzieren natürlich mit in den Kontext dieser Haushaltsverhandlungen.“

Er verstehe innenpolitische Befindlichkeiten in Ungarn und anderen Ländern, „aber ich habe umgekehrt um Verständnis geworben, dass der größte Beitragszahler in den Haushalt der Europäischen Union, und gleichzeitig das Land, das auch den größten Beitrag zur Unterstützung der Ukraine leistet, Wert darauflegt, dass wir diese grundsätzliche Frage miteinander klären.

Und das steht in den nächsten Tagen und möglicherweise auch in den nächsten Wochen dann eben auf der Tagesordnung.“

🚨 Drama: Robert Fico, Andrej Babiš, Péter Magyar and Rumen Radev have all hit back at Friedrich Merz's push to make the EU budget conditional on fresh support for Ukraine.

Fico calls its a "textbook case of blackmail".

Merz issues a tough ultimatum: German Chancellor threatens to block EU budget unless guarantees for Ukraine funding are included

Friedrich Merz insists that the EU budget agreement for 2028–2034 must include guarantees of financial support for Kyiv in 2027 and subsequent years.

According to European officials, Ukraine could face a funding shortfall of around €70 billion next year. The EU is already planning to allocate €45 billion to Kyiv.

Berlin also demands an agreement on interest payments on Ukraine’s debts and how these costs will be shared among EU member states.

If Le Pen wins France's presidential election she is going to end French aid to Ukraine (and any increase to France's national contribution to the EU budget, and therefore EU aid to Ukraine as well). French policy under MLP will unravel the entire MFF. Merz is late to the party

Nous avons besoin d’une France forte dans une Europe forte.

Or que ce soit le RN ou LFI, c’est un affaiblissement de la France dans les institutions européennes.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has threatened to block the EU’s 2028–2034 budget unless all member states agree to help finance Ukraine in 2027 and beyond.

Kyiv faces a €70bn funding gap next year, with the EU pledging to cover about €45bn.

Hungary, Slovakia, Bulgaria and the Czech Republic have signalled opposition to further contributions.

Berlin also wants future Ukraine funding decisions to require a qualified majority rather than unanimity, reducing the risk of vetoes.

In October, for the second consecutive month, Ukraine gained more territory than Russia, and Russian forces suffered their highest monthly casualty toll — more than 54,000 killed or seriously wounded — of the war, according to @TheStudyofWar. https://t.co/5oAq7gzZRd

Ukrainian forces continued their long-range strike campaign against Russian logistical, industrial, and oil infrastructure in Ryazan and Oryol oblasts.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced in western Zaporizhia Oblast.

Russian forces launched two Kh-35 anti-ship missiles and 128 drones against Ukraine overnight.

- Why does support for European integration coexist with such deep pessimism?
- How can the EU be explained better to those who feel disconnected from it?
- And what does this mean for those who argue for a more federal Europe?
