💶 Merz threatened to block the EU budget without guarantees that all countries will finance Ukraine, - FT
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned that Berlin will block the next European Union budget for the 2028-2034 years unless all member states commit to financially supporting Ukraine in 2027 and beyond.
This is stated in Merz’s letter to European Council President António Costa, which the Financial Times has seen.
In the letter the chancellor conditions Germany's support for the EU budget for the 2028-2034 years on all member countries agreeing to fund Ukraine. Merz wrote:
"A collective commitment from every one of us, without exception, to fairly share in covering Ukraine's funding shortfall is a necessary precondition for resolving this issue and discussing any other matters, especially those with financial implications."
