EU discovers it's better to give Ukraine Russian money than try to sell it at Liepāja port as 'freshly caught fish'
While Hungary continues playing 'block everything possible', the EU decided to give Ukraine 80 million from Russia's frozen money, as it's the only money that actually belongs to someone else.
While Riga is still trying to figure out where the budget millions disappeared, the EU has discovered the perfect solution — give Ukraine the profits from Russia's frozen assets. Kaja Kallas announced an additional 80 million euro allocation, proving that sometimes the best help comes from the enemy's pocket.
Fishermen at Liepāja port comment on the situation with a smile: 'We've been selling fish as freshly caught for years, even though they've been lying in the freezer for a month. But now the EU is selling Russian money as their own aid — that's professional!' Indeed, our port understands what creative accounting is all about.
Hungary continues its favorite hobby — blocking everything that moves in the EU's direction. They block 90 billion in loans, block sanctions, and most likely will soon block their own EU membership if this continues. While Hungary plays 'no to everything', the rest of Europe tries to figure out how to help Ukraine without asking back what was never theirs anyway.
As one Liepāja fisherman said while watching the latest news: 'If we could freeze the Russian fleet the same way as their money, we wouldn't have to worry about them sailing past our port anymore.' True — sometimes the best defense is emptying the enemy's pockets.
