  1. This money is actually very useful. Right now, Ukraine has issues getting loans internationally, due to the risks involved. The budget for 2022 is alright, with a deficit of 3.5%.

    *”Von der Leyen, who spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Friday, said the EU’s financial aid package was meant to “help Ukraine now to address its rapid escalation in financing needs due to the conflict”.She noted she was counting on the European Council, grouping EU governments, and EU lawmakers to* ***approve the emergency support as soon as possible in order to rapidly disburse a first tranche of 600 million euros****.”*

  2. They should put a some of that into humanitarian supplies. Need staying power if this gets hot. There will always me someone willing to sell arms but food etc can be tricky

  3. But Ukraine, why would you choose to side with the carrot and not the stick? Uncle Vlad is going to be angry…

  5. Ukraine should be Europe’s bread basket. EU should offer agriculture modernization and grading of food for European markets.

  6. Are we at least going to supervise how they will spend the money? Because you know…pretty corrupt place with Russian problems or without Russian problems.

  7. Beware of our corruption, please. Don’t just give money to our corrupt judges and officials. Those guys are on heavy Russian paycheck. And it’s hard to get rid of them. Free money without a oversight can destroy Ukraine faster than any Russian aggression. But we need it a d it can help too. Somehow our people are much better than our government people, I still don’t know why. I think our systems are broken. I think Russia is a big part of the problem since the fall of the USSR.

    And thank you.

  8. Another poor and corrupt country thanks to structural funds and good policies is becoming rich and stable country. This rich and stable country is buying stuff from the country that helped it become that way but the real win is stability and peace in the continent

  9. I am all for helping Ukraine, but given the overwhelming corruption there, what are the odds of it being put to good use?

  10. Well. Hell. Ukraine found a way to get rich. 200 million dollars worth of military aid and $1.2 billion from EU. They should ask the Russians to put on the pressure a bit longer to see how much they can get from World Bank and IMF. Milk it Ukraine. Free money free money.
