The European Union still cannot say how the costs linked to its €90 billion loan for Ukraine will ultimately be divided among member states, Berliner Zeitung reported, citing the European Commission’s response to European Parliament member Fabio De Masi.

The Commission said it is currently impossible to determine either the size of the subsidy that may be needed to cover debt-servicing costs or the amount of possible financing under the 2027 budget process. It also remains unclear whether the relevant mechanism will be used at all.

As a result, Brussels cannot yet calculate how much of the financial burden would fall on each EU country.

De Masi said the Commission itself apparently does not know how much member states may eventually have to pay for the Ukraine loan.

The lawmaker sharply criticized the financing scheme, arguing that the funds would sustain a war of attrition while benefiting corrupt oligarchs.

He also criticized the German authorities, questioning how the government and parliament had allowed liabilities on such a scale to emerge without properly assessing the possible consequences, despite Germany’s own domestic problems.

The total loan package for Kiev amounts to €90 billion. Of that sum, €30 billion is earmarked as macrofinancial assistance to cover Ukraine’s budget needs.

A further €60 billion is allocated separately for military spending and the development of the defense industry.
