Ukraine is going to run out of money very soon, possibly as soon as February. Belgium based Euroclear put out a statement over the weekend clarifying their position. This is the organisation that handles payments between countries and where most of Russia’s frozen assets are held.

In the statement they said that any attempt by EU organisations to take the money would absolutely be illegal and they would have to fight any such move through the courts.

They also pointed out that if the assets were moved the damage to Europe's reputation would be catastrophic and put at risk the 40 trillion euros worth of business Euroclear handles in a year.

Euroclear also said that so far only the interest on the assets have gone to be used for loans to Ukraine but none of the capital. But they noted that funds held in other European countries had been taken by the EU.

This explains the discrepancy noted by many commentators who have said that the interest alone would not have been enough to cover the amount of loans given to Ukraine.

The bottom line would appear to be that the EU commission is not going to get their hands on the money without a long drawn out fight. That paired with the Trump admin refusing to give anymore money to Zelensky and the EU countries inability to raise large amounts any other way means that Ukraine will not get more than drips and drabs of monetary aid for the foreseeable future and certainly nothing like the $250 billion Zelensky says is needed over the next 2 years.

Things continue to move against Zelensky and there must be a driver and that would seem to be the US.

In a latest poll Zelensky’s popularity has slipped 40% and is now below 20% approval rating. Given that we have known for a long time now that the official polls were fake and instead of an approval rating of around 70% true polls showed he had already slipped below 20% months ago.

Given that now even the fake polls are showing Zelensky is below 20% is a sign Zelensky is in real danger of being dumped.

This follows the corruption scandal that was uncovered by the US founded NABU, the anti-corruption organisation.

And now the US has sent FBI agents to Ukraine for further investigations.

Meanwhile, People's Deputy Roman Kostenko on the YouTube channel "Great Lviv Speaks" says;

“The situation with mobilization evasion in Ukraine is critical, with 80% of conscripts fleeing training centers, and over time the number of evaders may equal the size of the active army.”

These 2 stories show that faith in the Zelensky regime has completely collapsed at home. No one wants to fight this war anymore, no one supports Zelensky and his determination to keep fighting this war anymore.

Victor Orban's recent trip to Washington and the presser with Trump shows that Trump has flipped (again) and no longer supports Zelensky (again). Could this be Trump’s last flip on the issue? Who knows.

What is becoming clear to almost everyone, even casual observers, is that Ukraine has lost Pokrovsk, is about to lose Mynohgrad, Kupiansk, and Volchansk, that the Russians are fighting and will soon control Siversk and Konstantinovka. And will next come to Lymen and Huliapole. Equally importantly the Russians have a lot of open operational space in front of them and the densely packed villages of the Donbas are nearly all behind them.

None of these cities will ever be given back. The west is also starting to realise that, far from collapse, Russian’s increasing production of military stocks will continue for at least 2 more years.

The US is not interested in waiting that long and the EU can’t even hold out this year without stealing Russia’s frozen assets.

There is no appealing to the referee in war, you can only come to terms with the other side and pay the cost.
