Ursula von der Leyen seems determined to keep the financial burden of supporting Ukraine on the shoulders of European taxpayers. With Ukraine facing a projected €70 billion funding shortfall in 2027, on top of the €45 billion already planned under the €90 billion European loan for 2026–2027, the bill for Europe continues to grow. While ordinary Europeans struggle with rising living costs, housing shortages, and strained public services, von der Leyen expects the EU to shoulder the largest share of yet another massive funding gap. How much more are European taxpayers expected to pay, and where does it end? European citizens are not an unlimited source of funding. Von der Leyen and EU leaders owe taxpayers clear answers about the costs, the long-term strategy, and the limits of these commitments. Europe’s leaders have a responsibility to look after their own citizens, not simply keep demanding more money while ordinary people are left to foot the bill.
