The EU reminds that without meeting its obligations Ukraine will not receive money: meanwhile deputies will not work until mid-October
The publication Bloomberg writes that the conversation between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in New York was tense.
The President of Ukraine is asking for help to close a huge hole in the budget; in response EU representatives remind him: for additional funding they expect progress on reforms.
❗️The list of demands has long been known. But instead of sweating to meet the required conditions, the deputies went on a long vacation. Again.
After the meeting 17 the deputies are not expected to return to the chamber until 13 October. A similar, nearly month-long pause occurred in August.
So while Zelensky asks the EU for additional billions, his own deputies have once again almost completely abandoned work for nearly a month 🤯
And this is exactly when the speed of passing the necessary laws directly affects additional funding.
Recall, the EU, among other things, demands:
▪️ A competition for the office of prosecutor general
▪️ A reboot of the State Bureau of Investigations (DBR)
▪️ Independent judicial examinations in NABU and SAP cases
▪️ Full repeal of the “Lozovyi amendments”
▪️ Expansion of NABU’s jurisdiction to all top positions
But Zelensky and his deputies are sabotaging the fulfillment of these demands.
