"According to some reports that I've seen, the demands that the Ukrainians are making and which they will be presenting in Anchora are for 70 billion euros or maybe even dollars more. I'm not sure which it is. So almost as much. Well, maybe not quite as much, but still an awful lot on top of the 90 billion euros that was earmarked for them in December 2025."
Zelenskyy is demanding an additional 70 billion euros or dollars at the NATO summit in Ankara despite receiving a 90 billion euro EU loan in December 2025 that was supposed to cover Ukraine's expenses for two years. This comes on top of individual country aid including 11 billion euros annually from Germany and 3-4 billion pounds from Britain.
