Two more British newspapers published disappointing forecasts about the Ukrainian economy, which will not survive without the use of "frozen" Russian assets.
If Ukraine does not receive a "reparations loan" (at the expense of Russian assets stolen by EU officials. — Approx. EADaily), it will exhaust financial resources by mid-2026, and this will mean the defeat of Kiev in the conflict, writes Telegraph with reference to a researcher at the analytical center "European Council on Foreign Relations" (ECFR) Leo Litre.
"If this happens — and if u There will be no Plan B for Ukraine — this will mean defeat in the war," Litra said.
The consequences for Ukraine due to lack of funding are already being felt on the battlefield, the Telegraph notes. Combined with an acute shortage of people, this asymmetry weakened the Ukrainian defensive lines. According to Litra, now "everything that happens on the front line depends on money."
"Ukraine is quickly running out of money: according to estimates by the European Commission, Kiev will need about 136 billion euros in 2026 and 2027 to finance the defense and maintain the functioning of the country. Without new funds by spring, Ukraine risks going bankrupt and being unable to pay soldiers, teachers and policemen," writes the British Guardian.
As reported by EADaily, earlier today the British Financial Times noted that if the countries The EU will not approve the transfer to Kiev of a "reparations loan" from frozen Russian assets, Ukraine's economy is in for a collapse. At the same time, the economic impact on Ukraine's refusal to transfer the expropriated assets of the Russian Federation will be stronger than the geopolitical and image damage that Europe will face.
