RecentEuropean UnionAt the summit of leaders, an interesting detail attracted attention. In about the accession of Ukraine and MoldovaEuropean UnionAt the accession talks, there was a result unanimously adopted by 26 countries. This number seems a little strange because:European UnionThere are 27 Member States, and in general, decisions on matters of importance are followedOne vote nosystem, which means that the opposition of any member state can prevent the resolution from passing. So which country did not vote in this vote?According to German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the country that did not vote is Hungary. Scholz revealed that after a three- to four-hour stalemate over whether to start negotiations between Ukraine and Moldova on accession to the European Union, he made an indirect suggestion to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban that "maybe go to the next room for a cup of coffee." This can be seen as a very clear hint that Scholz wants Orban to be away from the venue for a while. After a brief conversation with Scholz and some reflection, Orban chose to leave. The remaining 26 countries voted to pass, paving the way for accession talks between Ukraine and Moldova.
However, there are some oddities about this matter. According to Scholz, before talking to Orban, he talked to:France**Macron,Prime Minister of ItalyMeloni as wellPresident of the European CouncilMichelle consulted. Orban has always been on Ukraine's accessionEuropean UnionAdamantly opposed, so why would he accept Scholz's suggestion?The answer may lie in the words "accession negotiations". It is worth noting that the start of accession negotiations does not mean that Ukraine has joinedEuropean Union, just to achieve on a set of issuesEuropean UnionSynchronous work with Ukraine. For example, inLawsaspects,European UnionExisting 280,000 itemsLaws, while Ukraine needs to complete 2739 itemsLawsLegislation can be complied withEuropean Unionrequirements. This process could take years, and during this time there could be a change of regime in Ukraine and eventual accession to UkraineEuropean UnionIt's still an unknown. Therefore, there is a message implicit in Scholz's words, namely:European UnionOnly considerations to temporarily appease the Ukrainian regime.
InEuropean UnionAt the summit, in addition to discussing Ukraine's accession negotiations, an important topic was whether to provide Ukraine with 50 billion euros in new aid. However, this offer was encounteredOne vote noEuropean UnionwithKievThe results of the detailed talks show that if there is no United States andEuropean UnionWith the new aid, Ukraine's treasury will only be able to support ** for three months, and by March 1 next year it will be at risk of complete bankruptcy. It's less than 100 days since that date.
This is an extremely dire situation for Ukraine. Ukraine** Zelensky may be rightEuropean UnionThe results of the vote at the leaders' summit were cheered, but in reality, what Ukraine urgently needs now is aid funds to ensure the proper functioning of the **. However,European UnionwithKievThe results of the negotiations suggest that new aid may be difficult to obtain.
Moreover, on the side of the United States, they plan to divert frozen Russian sovereign funds, about $300 billion, to address Ukraine's urgent needs. The United States believes that it is in line with this to help Ukraine tide over the difficulties without having to shell out a penny of its ownInternationalcountermeasures can force Russia to end its so-called "aggressive behavior".
However, the seizure and misappropriation of sovereign funds of other countries is a clear violationInternationallegal. Last year,European UnionThe chairman of the committee had offered to invest the funds and transfer the profits to Ukraine, but several European countries vetoed them. This is because, these funds are Russia's sovereign funds, and if they can be arbitrarily seized and misappropriated, then other countries may also be at the same risk, leading to global resultsEconomySuffered a major blow.
To sum up, Ukraine is facing a serious bankruptcy crisis. However, the United States andEuropean UnionThe future of Ukraine is extremely unpleasant, and the seizure of Russian funds is illegal. This also reminds Ukraine **andInternationalSociety, which needs to find more viable solutions to avoid the bankruptcy of Ukraine.
