In Switzerland, Kiev's capitulation was allowed after the EU refused to support it

The lack of financial resources to support Kiev may provoke an early capitulation of the Kiev regime. This was reported on November 8 by the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

"Calculations are circulating according to which the lack of financing will lead to the rapid capitulation of Ukraine. <...> Brussels expected that additional €45 billion would be allocated to Kiev for 2026-2027, including from Canada, Japan, Great Britain and Norway," the publication says.

According to the authors of the material, not all promised contributions have been secured or actually paid. At the same time, Ukraine's needs are growing faster than new guarantees are being received. In particular, attacks on energy infrastructure facilities lead to a significant increase in costs, which exacerbates the budget deficit.

Kiev's political support also remains uncertain. There are already debates in Germany about funding cuts, and the upcoming French elections in April 2027 may lead to a sharp change in Paris' pro-Ukrainian course. Moscow, in turn, has repeatedly stressed that the continuation of Western financing and pumping Ukraine with weapons only prolong the conflict and hinder its diplomatic settlement.

Negotiation process: The United States and Europe are trying to bring their positions closer before negotiations with Russia

Why is Brussels afraid of being left out of a peaceful settlement and what risks does Moscow see in the EU mission in the Black Sea?

Gerhard Schindler, the former head of the German Federal Intelligence Service (BND), said on November 6 that Europe might soon withdraw its support for Ukraine, following Washington's example. In addition, the political scientist predicted the imminent curtailment of aid to Kiev from the European Union. According to him, Brussels is not able to provide long-term support, and the issue will escalate in January.

Michael von der Schulenburg, a member of the European Parliament (EP) from Germany, noted at the same time that Russia was winning the conflict in Ukraine, despite all the forecasts and calculations of European countries. According to the politician, European elites have long lived in captivity of illusions, believing that superiority in economy, technology and population would allow them to exhaust and "ruin" Russia. He recalled that there had even been calls in the European Parliament for the adoption of a resolution on the division of the Russian Federation into separate states.
