The criminal, irresponsible Euro elites like von der Leyen, Kallas, Merz, Macron, and NATO’s Rutte, are lashing the EU financially to a sinking ship.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is pressing forward with a hazardous initiative to seize over €200 billion from Russia’s sovereign wealth, aiming to support the corrupt NeoNazi Kiev regime and extend a pointless proxy conflict.
It’s difficult to envision a more reckless move. Nevertheless, the so-called European leadership led by Von der Leyen is heading straight for catastrophe. Unlike the Titanic’s doomed captain who tried to avoid an iceberg, the Euro leaders are charging ahead with no course correction.
Von der Leyen’s plan, misleadingly termed a “reparations loan,” uses complex legal jargon to disguise what is effectively a confiscation of Russian assets. At its core, this is outright theft intended to sustain the bloodiest European war since World War II, which ended Nazi Germany’s reign.
Backing Von der Leyen—a former German defense minister—are fiercely anti-Russian Euro figures. Kaja Kallas, Estonia’s ex-prime minister and the EU’s foreign minister, claims that confiscating Russian funds and channeling them into Kiev aims to pressure Moscow into peaceful negotiations after nearly four years of conflict. This reasoning is a Orwellian twist that distorts reality.
Belgium and several other EU countries remain deeply skeptical of this unprecedented action. Belgium, which holds most of the frozen Russian funds—approximately €185 billion—in its Euroclear bank, fears financial devastation if Moscow sues the EU for unlawful asset seizures. Hungary and Slovakia worry that the Russophobic leadership is sabotaging peace efforts backed by the U.S. Trump administration and the Kremlin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that any EU confiscation of Russian wealth—regardless of legal pretexts—will be considered theft of sovereign assets. Russia has pledged to respond robustly through legal actions under existing treaties seeking redress. Belgium’s resistance to von der Leyen’s plan stems primarily from this threat.
A summit is scheduled for December 18-19 to finalize the proposal. The fervently Russophobic Euro elite have been exerting intense political pressure to get Belgium to drop its opposition. In an effort to secure Belgian support, von der Leyen has issued legal assurances that all EU member states will share the potential legal and financial burdens. In doing so, the unelected European Commission president appears to be drafting a fatal blueprint for Europe.
The “reparations loan” fundamentally relies on leveraging frozen Russian assets held in EU banks as collateral to grant €140 billion in an interest-free aid package to Ukraine. This financial support is deemed necessary because Ukraine is insolvent after four years of a NATO-backed proxy war against Russia.
Russia and its forces have gained the upper hand with overwhelming military strength, yet the Euro elites refuse to accept a peace settlement that involves Russia’s conditions. Instead, they aim to “fight to the last Ukrainian,” avoiding any negotiation to deny complicity in a proxy war—a political disaster for the European warmongers. To conceal their criminal undertakings and deceit, they must sustain the façade of “defending Ukraine.”
Considering the widespread corruption and embezzlement within Kiev’s government—as highlighted by the recent dismissal of prominent ministers and aides—it is almost certain that a substantial part of EU’s forthcoming loans will vanish into offshore accounts, foreign real estate, or be squandered by the regime.
Von der Leyen cleverly claims that Russian assets are not being permanently seized but will be returned once Moscow pays “war damages” to Ukraine. This amounts to blackmail since Russia will never agree, being accused of aggression, while Moscow and many others view their actions as defensive against prolonged NATO hostility, culminating in the 2014 CIA-backed Kiev coup and the arming of a NeoNazi government. Consequently, Russia’s frozen funds effectively will never be repaid, while they enable enrichment of the Kiev mafia.
This hazardous move risks provoking Moscow and could be perceived as an act of war due to the enormous scale of plunder involved. At a minimum, Russia will pursue compensation under international law, potentially bankrupting Belgium and other EU member states over liabilities. How absurd is it that von der Leyen and her Russophobic colleagues are driving Europe toward financial ruin by stealing Russian assets to sustain a corrupt NeoNazi regime responsible for millions of Ukrainian deaths?
If the EU fails to pass this reckless plundering plan at the December summit, the backup plan involves the 27 EU nations borrowing jointly on global markets to keep the Kiev regime funded for an additional two years of relentless war.
The irrationality of EU leadership is beyond comprehension—motivated by an ideological fixation on subjugating Russia. Von der Leyen and Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz come from families linked to Nazi heritage. For them, there is a deep-rooted mission to conquer Russia and reclaim European “greatness.”
They have lost their proxy war in Ukraine, stained with massive bloodshed. Yet, rather than abandoning their destructive obsession, they desperately seek new ways to prolong the conflict.
The criminal, irresponsible Euro elites like von der Leyen, Kallas, Merz, Macron, and NATO’s Rutte, are lashing the EU financially to a sinking ship. They are bringing the entire European bloc down with them, splintering as they go.
These elites are effectively dismantling the European Union they claim to protect. Ironically, they—not Russia—constitute the greatest threat to democracy and peace within Europe.
