Breakthrough: G7 countries cordial $ 50 billion for Ukraine!

New York/Washington-In the international poker for a huge loan of $ 50 billion for the war-shreded Ukraine, a breakthrough is just around the corner! The United States is ready to contribute a total of $ 20 billion to support, announced US finance minister Janet Yellen in Washington. But that's just the tip of the iceberg! The German Finance Minister Christian Lindner is enthusiastic and is optimistic: "This also clears the way for the support of the European Union on a size of 18 billion euros" - that is also around $ 20 billion. The remaining $ 10 billion should be provided by Great Britain, Japan and Canada.

"We are facing a crucial step this week to support Ukraine," said the FDP boss during his visit to New York. This huge loan, decided by the G7 countries, is secured by the interest income from the frozen assets of the Russian central bank. A clever move! Yellen emphasized that no American taxpayer is asked to pay: "Russia pays for this support." Ukraine will have control over how the money is used - be it weapon purchases, the reconstruction or general budget expenses.

Putin foams from anger

In addition to the positive mood, there is also sharp criticism from Russia! Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin described the project as "robbery" and warned that the decision of the G7 would "not remain unpunished". Meanwhile, Yellen assured that one was already “99 percent at the destination”. A few last details now have to be discussed. In the meantime, the EU Parliament approved a loan for Ukraine of up to 35 billion euros and Great Britain also announced its support with a loan of around 2.71 billion euros.

At the end of this week, as part of the annual conference of the International Monetary Fund in Washington, the final agreement of those involved is expected. Lindner emphasizes that the G7 and the EU will send a strong signal together: "We defend international order and support Ukraine in its right to self -defense!" A truly historical moment for the support of Ukraine!
