The Duran podcast discusses the ongoing meetings in Brussels regarding financial aid to Ukraine, focusing on two plans: utilizing frozen Russian assets and issuing Eurobonds. Orban's opposition to using Russian assets adds complexity. The speakers highlight the potential illegality of both plans, referencing concerns from various financial institutions and legal experts. They emphasize Ukraine's urgent need for funds to avoid financial collapse, with the EU determined to provide support despite legal and financial challenges. Opposition to the Russian asset plan is growing among several countries, while Eurobonds face resistance due to concerns about fiscal unity and potential legal challenges in countries like Germany. The discussion also covers the significant financial aid already provided to Ukraine, contrasting it with past EU responses to financial crises in member states like Cyprus and Greece, and questions the oversight of funds allocated to Ukraine compared to the strict measures imposed on Greece. The conversation concludes by considering the potential long-term consequences of these financial decisions, including the risk of destabilizing the Eurozone and the unsustainable nature of continually bailing out Ukraine.
