Russlands Verm\u00f6gen f\u00fcr Reparationsdarlehen an Ukraine"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Die 27 Staats- und Regierungschefs der Europ\u00e4ischen Union kommen in Br\u00fcssel zusammen, um eine seit Monaten erwartete Entscheidung zu treffen: Wie sollen mindestens 90 Milliarden Euro aufgebracht werden, um den finanziellen Bedarf der Ukraine f\u00fcr 2026 und 2027 zu decken?<\/p>\n<p>Da die USA auf eine schnelle Einigung zwischen der Ukraine und Russland dr\u00e4ngen, sehen Diplomaten und Beamte den Gipfel an diesem 18. Dezember als einen wichtigen Moment f\u00fcr die Europ\u00e4er, um zu beweisen, dass sie immer noch etwas zu sagen haben.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Hier geht es nicht nur um Zahlen&#8220;, sagte die Pr\u00e4sidentin der Europ\u00e4ischen Kommission, Ursula von der Leyen, im Vorfeld des Gipfels. &#8222;Es geht auch darum, die F\u00e4higkeit der Ukraine zu st\u00e4rken, einen wirklichen Frieden zu sichern &#8211; einen gerechten, einen dauerhaften, einen, der die Ukraine und damit auch Europa sch\u00fctzt.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Es gibt zwei Hauptoptionen, um die mindestens 90 Milliarden Euro aufzubringen. Die erste ist der Vorschlag, die stillgelegten Guthaben der russischen Zentralbank in ein <a href=\"https:\/\/de.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/12\/17\/reparationsdarlehen-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>zinsloses Reparationsdarlehen<\/strong> <\/a>an die Ukraine umzuwandeln, das das Land erst dann zur\u00fcckzahlen m\u00fcsste, wenn Moskau den durch seinen Krieg verursachten Schaden wiedergutgemacht hat &#8211; was \u00e4u\u00dferst unwahrscheinlich ist.<\/p>\n<p>Die zweite M\u00f6glichkeit w\u00e4re eine gemeinsame Kreditaufnahme auf den Finanzm\u00e4rkten, wie die Kommission im Namen aller Mitgliedstaaten w\u00e4hrend der COVID-19-Pandemie vorgegangen war.<\/p>\n<p>Beide Optionen sind mit erheblichen Vor- und Nachteilen verbunden, die den Staats- und Regierungschefs Kopfzerbrechen bereiten. Es gibt jedoch einen entscheidenden Unterschied: Die gemeinsame Verschuldung m\u00fcsste einstimmig beschlossen werden, um die EU-Haushaltsregeln zu \u00e4ndern. Dies ist ein nahezu unm\u00f6gliches Szenario aufgrund der kompromisslosen Opposition Ungarns . Das Reparationsdarlehen dagegen k\u00f6nnte mit einer qualifizierten Mehrheit genehmigt werden.<\/p>\n<p>Diese Arithmetik hat Belgien ins Rampenlicht ger\u00fcckt. Im Land lagern russische Verm\u00f6genswerte in H\u00f6he von 185 Milliarden Euro und Belgien bef\u00fcrchtet, dass es im Falle eines Reparationskredits Opfer von Vergeltungsma\u00dfnahmen Moskaus werden k\u00f6nnte. Der belgische Premierminister Bart De Wever hat den Vorschlag als <a href=\"https:\/\/de.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/10\/03\/konnen-wir-das-huhn-essen-belgiens-bart-de-wever-will-antworten-zu-eingefrorenen-russische\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>&#8222;grundlegend falsch&#8220;<\/strong> <\/a>und mit &#8222;vielf\u00e4ltigen Gefahren&#8220; behaftet kritisiert.<\/p>\n<p>Auf dem Gipfeltreffen am Donnerstag werden die Staats- und Regierungschefs daher versuchen, die zahlreichen Bedenken von De Wever zu zerstreuen und die Beteiligung Belgiens an dem Plan sicherzustellen. In den letzten Tagen haben zudem Italien, Bulgarien, Malta und die Tschechische Republik Vorbehalte gegen das Reparationsdarlehen ge\u00e4u\u00dfert, und auch Euroclear, die Verwahrstelle f\u00fcr die 185 Milliarden Euro, <a href=\"https:\/\/de.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/12\/12\/eu-klage-russland-euroclear\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>hat sich kritisch ge\u00e4u\u00dfert<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00fchsame und brisante Verhandlungen erwartet<\/p>\n<p>Die Verhandlungen werden langwierig, m\u00fchsam und potenziell brisant sein. Belgien hat unter anderem unbefristete Garantien gefordert, um sich gegen jede Eventualit\u00e4t abzusichern. Die anderen Mitgliedstaaten hingegen wollen sich auf eine feste Summe einigen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Wir wollen, dass alle Risiken ohne Einschr\u00e4nkung, in vollem Umfang und vom ersten Tag an abgedeckt sind&#8220;, sagte ein hochrangiger Diplomat, der anonym bleiben wollte. &#8222;Die Risiken, mit denen wir konfrontiert sind, haben keine Obergrenze, also k\u00f6nnen wir einer Garantie mit einer Obergrenze nicht zustimmen.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>Ant\u00f3nio Costa, der Pr\u00e4sident des Europ\u00e4ischen Rates, versprach, dass Belgien nicht \u00fcberstimmt werden w\u00fcrde. &#8222;Dies ist kein Streit zwischen Europa und Belgien&#8220;, sagte er.<\/p>\n<p>Wenn es den Staats- und Regierungschefs gelingt, Bart De Wever zu \u00fcberzeugen, kann das Reparationsdarlehen in die Tat umgesetzt werden. Gelingt dies nicht, werden sie unter dem Eindruck des ungarischen Vetos \u00fcber gemeinsame Schulden diskutieren. Erweisen sich die beiden Optionen als nicht realisierbar, muss die Kommission schnell eine Zwischenl\u00f6sung finden, um die Unterst\u00fctzung f\u00fcr die Ukraine ohne Unterbrechung fortzusetzen.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;Das Treffen wird so lange dauern, wie es n\u00f6tig ist&#8220;, sagte ein EU-Beamter und deutete an, dass sich die Debatte \u00fcber den Freitag und sogar dar\u00fcber hinaus erstrecken k\u00f6nnte.<\/p>\n<p>Die Uhr tickt: Kyjiw braucht im April eine neue Finanzspritze. Nach dem letzten <a href=\"https:\/\/de.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/10\/24\/belgien-blockiert-milliardengelder-aus-russischem-vermogen-fur-die-ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ergebnislosen Gipfel<\/strong><\/a> kann sich die EU ein weiteres Debakel nicht leisten.

The second would involve the EU jointly borrowing money on financial markets, similar to the approach used during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">\u201cWe will find a solution, we have two options on the table,&#8220; Frieden said. The use of frozen assets, the prime minister said,  is &#8222;complex but we can find a way to make it work\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">There are \u20ac210 billion of Russian sovereign assets in the EU, of which \u20ac185 billion are held in Euroclear, a Brussels-based depository.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ql-align-justify\">Belgium has demanded other member states provide strong guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to find a group of countries which share the risks\u201d in the scenario in which Russia launches a court case to claim the assets at the end of the war or once sanctions are lifted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to be united because the US might not be there with us in the future,&#8220; the Prime Minister pointed out, referring to Washington&#8217;s gradual disengagement in supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia.<\/p>\n<p>    9:03 MEZ<\/p>\n<p>                              Mercosur: &#8218;We need to stick with what we agreed with other countries,&#8216; Luxembourg PM tells Euronews<\/p>\n<p>The European Union should honour the commitments it has made to its Mercosur partners, Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc Frieden told Euronews\u2019 flagship programme Europe Today.<\/p>\n<p>Addressing farmers\u2019 concerns over the trade deal, the prime minister said these issues \u201ccan be solved domestically,\u201d stressing the importance of ensuring the agreement does not fail, amid several EU countries expressing reservations over the deal.<\/p>\n<p>    9:01 MEZ<\/p>\n<p>                              &#8218;We have to find a solution for Ukraine,&#8216; says von der Leyen<\/p>\n<p>Ursula von der Leyen has arrived at the EU summit with a clear-cut message: &#8222;We have to find a solution today,&#8220; she said. &#8222;We won&#8217;t leave the European Council without a solution for the funding for Ukraine for the next two years.&#8220;<\/p>\n<p>The president of the European Commission has proposed two options: the reparations loans, based on the immobilised Russian assets, and joint debt, backed by the EU budget. Though she has previously advocated in favour of the reparations loan, today she made no special distinction, saying simply that &#8222;the most important part&#8220; is to raise \u20ac90 billion to meet Ukraine&#8217;s needs for 2026 and 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Von der Leyen said that it is &#8222;absolutely understandable&#8220; that Belgium, the prime custodian of the Russian assets, has concerns about the reparations loan. &#8222;I totally support Belgium that they insisting on having their worries and concerns accommodated, and we\u2019re working day and night with Belgium,&#8220; she said, thanking Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever for his &#8222;engagement&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8222;If we take the reparations loan, the risk has to be shared by all of us. This is a matter of solidarity and a core principle of the European Union,&#8220; she said.<\/p>\n<p>    17\/12\/2025 &#8211; 17:21 MEZ<\/p>\n<p>                              Reparations loan for Ukraine: Who&#8217;s in favour and who&#8217;s against?<\/p>\n<p>As we wait for EU leaders to make their way into the summit, we want to get you up to speed on the main issue: the reparations loan.<\/p>\n<p>Under the scheme, the financial institutions that hold the immobilised assets of the Russian Central Bank would transfer their cash balances to the Commission, which would then issue a zero-interest loan to Ukraine. Kyiv would be asked to repay only after Moscow ends its war and compensates for the damage its invasion has wrought. Moscow would then be able to recover its money, completing the cycle.<\/p>\n<p>While the proposal has been met with public enthusiasm by some leaders, like Germany&#8217;s Friedrich Merz and Denmark&#8217;s Mette Frederiksen, it faces staunch opposition from others, such as Belgium&#8217;s Bart De Wever and Hungary&#8217;s Viktor Orb\u00e1n. <\/p>\n<p>We break down who&#8217;s in favour and who&#8217;s against.<\/p>\n<p>              <a class=\"c-live-blogging-post__card\" href=\"http:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/12\/17\/reparations-loan-for-ukraine-whos-in-favour-and-whos-against\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n                  <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"c-live-blogging-post__card__img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/1200x675_cmsv2_e062e712-6887-58e6-beef-d2c094056900-9583599.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"16\" height=\"9\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<p>            Reparations loan for Ukraine: Who\u2019s in favour and who\u2019s against?            <\/p>\n<p class=\"c-live-blogging-post__card__desc\">The European Union\u2019s bold attempt to issue a reparations loan to Ukraine using immobilised Russian assets has sharply divided the bloc\u2019s key leaders.
