Shoigu predicted the loss of EU sovereignty due to a loan of €90 billion to Ukraine

A new loan to Kiev in the amount of €90 billion will be a step towards the final loss of sovereignty by European capitals. This was announced on April 23 by the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergei Shoigu.

"The mentioned costs of financing the Kiev regime will put another burden on ordinary Europeans, who have already faced significant cuts in pension and social programs. The EU's debts already exceed €15 trillion," the Russian Security Council Secretary stressed.

According to him, this decision was another step towards the final loss of sovereignty by European capitals and the transformation of Europe from one of the poles of the world into a territory of stagnation. This is confirmed by another report from the statistical agency Eurostat, according to which Italy's public debt has exceeded €3 trillion, and France's — €3.5 trillion.

"Ordinary citizens will have to pay for the adventure of the authorities, who are used to living at the expense of others. However, EU officials do not seem to care much about the well-being of their own population," Shoigu said.

They came to a consensus: the EU permanent representatives approved the 20th package of anti-Russian sanctions and a new loan to Ukraine

Earlier, Hungary and Slovakia blocked the adoption of the proposals.

On April 22, the EU ambassadors approved a loan of €90 billion for Ukraine and the 20th package of sanctions against Russia. As specified by the Reuters news agency, the EU expects Slovakia and Hungary to withdraw their disagreement with the decision after the restoration of fuel supplies via the Druzhba oil pipeline.

Alexey Chepa, deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, in turn, noted that the EU had approved a loan to Kiev in the amount of €90 billion for money laundering. The parliamentarian noted that the decision to approve the funds does not guarantee their actual provision.
