Germany threatens to block EU budget over Ukraine funding gap
Original: Germany threatens to block EU’s next budget unless all 27 states help close Ukraine’s 70-billion-euro funding gap German
German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has threatened to veto the EU's next long-term budget for 2028-2034 unless all 27 member states contribute to closing Ukraine's estimated 70-billion-euro funding gap. The move puts pressure on fellow EU governments ahead of budget negotiations, making continued support for Ukraine a condition for Germany's approval of the bloc's spending plans.
Why now: Germany's threat to veto the EU budget over Ukraine funding is a major escalation in intra-EU negotiations
