RecentEuropean UnionLeaders Summit,European UnionThe decision to launch the accession negotiations between Ukraine and Moldova made Ukraine Zelensky feel fortunate that the "victory" had finally come. However, an eerie detail also caught people's attention. In the results of the vote, there was a country that did not participate in the vote, and according toEuropean UnionofOne vote nosystem, a negative vote from any one country is enough to prevent the resolution from passing. The country that did not vote is Hungary. This result is puzzlingCouncil of EuropeChairman Olaf Scholz explained to ** that after a lengthy discussion, he suggested to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that he could go to another room for a cup of coffee, which Orban accepted and left the room. After that, 26 other countries voted to adopt a resolution on accession negotiations. It all feels as if it isEuropean Uniontemporarily pacified Orban and provided an opportunity for Zelensky**'s continued existence. However, this accession negotiation does not represent Ukraine's immediate accessionEuropean Union, but began the work of both sides on a number of complex issues. For example, inLawsIn addition, Ukraine still needs to complete 2,739 pieces of legislation before it can be reachedEuropean Unionstandards. This process can take years, and variables such as regime change can cause negotiations to be delayed and put on hold.
In addition to accession negotiations,European UnionThe issue of 50 billion euros in aid to Ukraine was also discussed. However, Hungary made this proposalOne vote noEuropean Commissionsaid they would revisit the issue in January next year. However, if Ukraine does not receive external assistance in a short period of time, their treasury will only be able to support ** operation for three months. By March next year, Ukraine is likely to face complete bankruptcy. Zelensky is afraid that he has a lot of resentment towards Hungarian Prime Minister Orban, after all, the aid money has not been approved, and his ** predicament is like a broken meridian.
FaceEuropean Unionof hesitation and Hungary's veto, Ukraine will count on US assistance. According to reportsG7It is planned to use frozen Russian sovereign funds, totaling about $300 billion, to address Ukraine's urgent needs. In their opinion, this will help Ukraine without having to pay for it themselves. The U.S. Treasury Department called this act "compliant."Internationallaw of countermeasures", and believes that Russia can be forced to put an end to its "aggressive behavior". However, this seizure and misappropriation of sovereign funds of other countries is contrary to thisInternationallaw, and could trigger retaliation from other countries and loss of credibility with the United States. In addition, if Ukraine goes bankrupt, the United States may not see the need to continue to help it, but only to bankrupt Zelensky, so as to achieve their interests. However, since countries around the globe hold U.S. bonds, if the U.S. adopts such an irresponsible approach, other countries are likely to sell U.S. bonds, causing a major blow to the global economy. Therefore, in this case, the survival of Ukraine does not seem so important, but more important is how countries protect their interests and preserveInternationalOrder.
