EU-Kommissionspräsidentin Ursula von der Leyen will mit russischem Geld, das die EU vorläufig beschlagnahmt hat, den Wiederaufbau der Ukraine finanzieren. Ist das legitim?
Das darf man getrost als populistische Augenwischerei bezeichnen.
Die Gesamtsumme russischen Geldes auf eingefrorenen Konten bewegt sich um die 300 Milliarden Euro. Das reicht nicht im Ansatz, um die Wirtschaft der Ukraine nebst der entstandenen Kriegsverwüstungen, wieder aufzubauen.
Ob die eingefrorenen Konten so einfach konfisziert und einkassiert werden können, halte ich für ziemlich fraglich. Mit welchem Argument unterstellt man den von Einfrierung ihrer Konten Betroffenen die Teilhabe am Krieg? Inwiefern sind Privatvermögen Teil von denkbaren Reparationsforderungen? Das ist hanebüchener Quatsch!
Allerdings entspricht es vollkommen den bisherigen Handlungen der dubiosen Ursula von der Leyen, den EU Bürgern durch medialen Zirkus zu suggerieren böse Russen würden geschröpft, nicht der EU Steuerzahler. Populistisches Volks-Rechtsverständnis, sogenanntes „gesundes Volksempfinden“ beklatscht von Leuten, die sonst so heuchlerisch sensibel auf Populismus reagieren.
Ein typischer Täuschungstrick aus der Kiste einer Frau, die selbst auf Kriegsfuß mit Recht und Anstand steht.
Am Ende bezahlt der EU Steuerzahler, vermutlich um US Engagement zu finanzieren. Europa zahlt, die USA verdienen. So macht man das mit nützlichen Idioten, die sich jeden Unfug einreden lassen, weil er gut und moralisch klingt.
DFC and USAID Plan to Galvanize Private Investment in Ukraine
WASHINGTON – The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) signed today a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Government of Ukraine to support attracting investments to Ukraine as part of their efforts to help address the country’s urgent development priorities and economic recovery. Under the MOU, the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine, with USAID support, will help identify and develop private sector projects for consideration for DFC support. DFC intends to work with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine so that it understands DFC’s investment requirements. Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, USAID Administrator Samantha Power, and DFC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Scott Nathan signed the MOU at an event on the margins of the Spring Meetings of the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund and the U.S. - Ukraine Partnership Forum hosted by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal said, “No sustainable growth and recovery of Ukraine is possible without private capital. Therefore, foreign investments will be one of the drivers for the recovery of our economy. War risk insurance is a key tool to attract these investments now, without waiting for the end of the war. We are grateful to DFC for the partnership and help along the way. It is a step of real solidarity with Ukraine.” “Today's Memorandum of Understanding reaffirms USAID's partnership with the Government of Ukraine and our ongoing commitment to supporting the Ukrainian economy and people in the face of Putin's brutality,” said USAID Administrator Samantha Power . “Our work together will help spur private sector investments in Ukraine, which is key to the immediate economic recovery and to building a future for Ukraine that is stronger and more prosperous than before.” “DFC’s commitment to supporting the Ukrainian private sector is enduring,” said DFC CEO Scott Nathan . “We were there before the war, we are there now, and we will be there for the long-term. This MOU demonstrates how DFC, in partnership with our colleagues at USAID, is taking steps to increase our financial support for the businesses and people of Ukraine.” ### About DFC The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) partners with the private sector to finance solutions to the most critical challenges facing the developing world today.
