The summary at the top is misleading or outdated. Macron said that europe paid 60% of the costs including loans.

“No, in fact, to be frank, we paid,” Macron said to Trump. “We paid 60 percent of the total effort, and it was through, like the U.S., loans, guarantee, grants, and we provided real money, to be clear.”

Does anyone have an actual reference for the percentage of loans? Also percentage of european payments?

It’s very hard to find these numbers because capitalist media wants to call loans “aid” instead of extortion.

edit: I found a chart that might support 60% of financial aid being from europe, but ofc it doesn’t break down the loans/extraction.

edit2:

To date, the EU has provided the lion’s share of financial aid to Ukraine in the form of loans. ‘This has driven up war-torn Ukraine’s debt, jeopardising its macroeconomic stability, growth prospects and reconstruction,’ Pindyuk critically notes. wiiw is forecasting a budget deficit of 19% of GDP and a debt level of around 100% of economic output for the country this year. Compared to 2021, the national debt has doubled and is set to rise further.

edit3: Yep, the “aid” from the EU and France is almost entirely war profiteering according to this source.
