Total EU debt for aid to Ukraine could exceed €200 billion — Welt am Sonntag

The publication reports that the income generated from frozen Russian assets is insufficient to fund Kyiv, meaning Brussels will have to borrow money once again. 

Based on the newspaper’s calculations, derived from European Commission data, more than €40 billion in additional funds, raised through collective borrowing, could be added to the €166 billion already transferred to Ukraine.

Over the past two-plus years, the earnings generated by frozen Russian assets have amounted to approximately €8 billion. As the publication notes, the principal capital itself is unlikely to be used, due to legal reasons.
