The proposed mechanism is included in the draft conclusions of an upcoming meeting of European Union leaders in Brussels, Belgium, Poland’s biznesalert.pl website reported on Friday.
However, “Germany is seeking for this passage to be removed,” biznesalert.pl said.
The Polish website added that the draft conclusions “have been circulated among member states as a basis for negotiation.”
‘International mechanism of compensation’ for Ukraine
“Under point seven, the draft document says that the EU fully supports the establishment of an international mechanism of compensation for damages and losses, as well as the documentation of evidence and compensation claims regarding the damage inflicted by Russia,” biznesalert.pl said.
According to the Polish website, the draft further “states the need to use frozen and confiscated Russian assets for the purposes of rebuilding Ukraine and providing reparations, in compliance with EU and international regulations.”
“In its comments on the draft, Germany has proposed removing the passage stating the EU’s full support for the establishment of an international compensation mechanism,” biznesalert.pl wrote.
Instead, “Berlin has suggested a less binding formulation, namely that there is a need to create a mechanism for recording losses caused by Russia,” according to the Polish website.
“This formulation does not postulate the creation of an international compensation mechanism that would help secure reparations from Russia,” biznesalert.pl claimed.
It concluded: “Interestingly, this comes against the background of a dispute between Poland and Germany” over compensation for World War II.
“Poland has reintroduced the subject of reparations for World War II, an issue that Germany regards as closed,” biznesalert.pl wrote. “Talks on the topic are ongoing, so far without bearing fruit.”
What’s really disgusting is that after WW II a war they caused destruction of their own making but the motherfuckers had their hands out looking to get their country repaired
“’Interestingly, this comes against the background of a dispute between Poland and Germany’ over compensation for World War II.”
That’s exactly what came to mind when reading the article’s title. It’s Germany’s greatest fear, having to pay Poland more money for the horrors and destruction it caused in WWII. Germany could easily pay, especially if it were to stop handing out money to the many trash countries that don’t deserve a single penny. Even bat virus land gets paid “development money”, as incredible as it sounds. Helping mafia land to prevent any reparations payments to Ukraine clearly puts Germany on the wrong side of history AGAIN!
Krauts again. POS! Unreal. They see the genocide and they’re against reparations. Fuck them!!
They might lose a few dollars if Russia has to pay Ukraine instead of them. Disgusting, I hate people that worship money.
