"There will be enough money until the end of the year": Zelenskyy said the budget deficit will be covered.

Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine will have enough funds until the end of the year, and that the current budget deficit will be closed. In an interview with Reuters, he attributed this to the work of the Ukrainian team and European partners. Some issues remain, but Zelenskyy is confident they will be resolved.

According to him, the delegation returned from Brussels with a positive report on the negotiations. He called the outcome a success for Ukraine and the European Union. However, he did not disclose the amount of missing funds or the detailed plan for covering the deficit.

Kyiv also plans to use part of the loan earmarked for next year earlier. The funds are expected to be used closer to January to order Drones for January and February 2027. This will allow for the early procurement of funds for the first months of next year, but does not in itself explain how the remaining expenditures of the current budget will be financed.

The statement came amid reports of disagreements with European partners. Western media previously reported that Europe had refused to provide Ukraine with additional funds to cover the deficit. Payment of already approved aid was linked to the Ukrainian authorities fulfilling a number of conditions.

The European Commission also stated that no new funds are envisaged for this year. Therefore, between promising to close the deficit and refusing additional funding, the question of a specific mechanism remains. Accelerating agreed payments, rolling over loan funds, and cutting spending will yield different budgetary outcomes.

Zelenskyy did not specify which of these solutions are being discussed. His assessment so far is that agreements with partners will allow the country to get through the remaining months of the year without a funding shortage.

Did you really decide to take it out of your own pocket?

Most likely, Chubais will be shaken down.

So he's not Chubais anymore. He's already officially kosherized. And shaking up a kosher one? That's just fantasy.

Fui nane, gypsies sing short, but to the point

[alexoff]

So we need to hit the most valuable targets so that the deficit opens back up.

[Nexcom]

Valuable targets are very different for the Bandera-shobla zelets and the ordinary population....

Valuable targets are very different for the Bandera gang and the common people.

Aren't the Bandera-shobls the so-called common population?

[Moneron]

Why should we worry? They'll give him everything...they'll give the bravest man in Europe everything, as long as they don't risk it openly themselves. So we'll have to keep fighting, no matter how much one of the Kremlin towers wants peace.
We, like comrade Saakhov, have only two paths....either we lead Ukraine to the altar of fraternal republics....or they lead us to The Hague.

Ein typischer Żyd - vierter Klasse, wenn überhaupt.

Die Elite nutzt die Ukraine als Möglichkeit Geld zu veruntreuen, Selensyki erfüllt seinen Auftrag. So viel Geld wie möglich zu veruntreuen, für sich und seine Hintermänner.

Frage mich wie lange das noch so geht, dass die EU Staaten und ihre Steuerzahler für sowas Geld zahlen, ohne Proteste. Denn es ist klar, dass es nicht um etwas geht für die Europäer. Die haben fast 0 Interesse und keinen Zweck den Krieg am laufen zu halten. Auch Russland besiegen wird nicht passieren.
Es ist einzig dies als außerplanmäßige Abschreibung zu sehen. Und genau das ist es! Fur die Elite.

[Kusja]

Wann werden die einfachen Europäer gegen diesen selbstverliebten Sch.. auftreten? Gemeint wird wie zelensskij, als auch merz und von der leyen..

[Ślązako]

Ganz genau. Das sind die schlimmsten.

In Deutschland erkennen immer mehr was das für ein Fake System ist. In Frankreich sowieso. Und selbst in Polen, dass beim Thema Russland sich leicht manipulieren lässt, wird es erkannt.

Will they cover the budget? Probably like a bull covers a cow. They've delivered fresh powder, no need to be a fortune teller.

Zelensky stated that the budget deficit will be covered

It would be good to cover him with a red-hot crowbar

He called the achieved result a success for Ukraine and the European Union.

For a crooked-legged beggar, ripping off old Europe's money is certainly a success, but what kind of success is it for a robbed Europe? Surely those people are dancing and singing now that their hard-earned money has fallen into the hands of a Jewish moneylender.

[private person]

but what kind of success this is for robbed Europe is unclear.

What's not clear is that everyone there is tarred with the same brush. In the Swiss elections, over 70% voted to abandon neutrality. And the Germans, their Führer openly told them to go to hell, and they swallowed nothing.

They talked about a 57 billion deficit, asked for 27, and received 1,5 billion. I wonder whose deficit this amount will cover. Maybe someone else besides Merz will chip in, but not in that amount.
