Seventy Billion Short: Europe Passes the Hat for Ukraine
Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description
Europe's leaders keep deferring the big decisions on Ukraine's funding, and the numbers do not add up: a 90-billion-euro loan proposal falls well short of the 137-billion-euro need flagged by the IMF. This episode examines the gap between pledges and cash, and why Brussels is lobbying Canada, the UK and Japan to help close a shortfall of around 70 billion euros.
