The EU has announced a new banking scheme called 'Interest for Ukraine'.
A spokesperson explained:
As we have no more money to send to the Ukraine from taxpayers who did not agree to it, we have had to think of other ways to fund the war.
A new scheme will be introduced whereby all interest earned on personal bank accounts held in the EU will automatically be paid to the Ukraine, unless you opt-out. And the opt-out will be buried somewhere on the EU website.
Be reassured...you will not have to pay tax on any interest sent to Ukraine
This way every citizen becomes a stakeholder in and creditor to Ukraine, which could mean a bonanza payout sometime in the next century.
Major banking insititutions such as the IMF have warned that this may discourage savers from saving but the EU thinks people will be much happier having their money fund weapons, both to kill Russians and prolong the war to kill more Ukrainians, than have it eroded by taxes on their savings.
