EU parliamentarians fear FvD MEP Marcel de Graaff is colluding with Russia
The European Parliament should investigate whether FVD MEP Marcel de Graaff is willingly colluding with Russia, according to a number of his colleagues. They said they are shocked by the "Russian propaganda" that De Graaff allegedly spread.

The MEPs, including VVD member Catharina Rinzema, will ask European Parliament President Roberta Metsola to expand the legislative body’s ongoing investigation into influence from Russia. This is currently focused on Latvian parliamentarian Tatjana Zdanoka.

De Graaff has defended Russia for some time, but he drew ire from colleagues after statements he made on Wednesday during meetings in Strasbourg. He called reports about the deportation of Ukrainian children "pure propaganda" and claimed that Russia is actually saving them from bombings.

Parliament cannot allow such "blatant lies,” and cannot afford to ignore them, Rinzema and her supporters believe. Rinzema, and her colleagues Rasa Juknevičienė from Lithuania and Hilde Vautmans from Belgium, are currently seeking the backing of other MEPs for their request for a wider investigation.

The investigation into Zdanoka should be broadened, the three wrote in a letter to Metsola. It should now focus on the dissemination of Russian propaganda throughout parliament.

Estonia proposes $130 billion annual plan to give Ukraine ‘what it needs to win’
Estonia has proposed a 120-billion-euro ($131.3 billion) financing plan for Ukraine, according to Kusti Salm, Permanent Secretary of the Estonian Defense Ministry, European outlet Euractiv reported on March 13.

The country is currently seeking 100 billion euros ($109.4 billion) to achieve this goal. Salm stated that borrowing from financial markets or national budgets is the optimal approach to provide Ukraine with the resources it needs to succeed in the war.

“Allocating 120 billion euros annually for military aid to Ukraine is an approximate figure that should be sufficient for Ukraine to prevail,” Salm said.

Part of this funding could be sourced from Eurobonds, with the European Commission raising funds from financial markets and EU countries serving as guarantors.

Estonian politicians have emphasized that for Ukraine to win the war, Western allies should invest 0.25% of their GDP in military assistance to the country.

“If the 50-plus countries in the US-led ‘Ramstein’ coalition supporting Ukraine militarily allocate that percentage, it would surpass 120 billion euros per year,” noted the Permanent Secretary of the Estonian Defense Ministry.

“With this funding, by 2025, Ukraine will attain a level of capability to effectively resist Russia.”However, even if funding begins now, it will take nearly a year to ensure Ukraine receives the necessary supplies.

“It will take an additional approximately nine months to ramp up supplies to the required level for Ukraine to credibly reach this level of resilience,” added the Estonian defense official.

Johnson signals shift on Ukraine to GOP senators
Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) told Republican senators Wednesday to expect the House to send them legislation to help Ukraine, but cautioned that what comes out of the House will look substantially different than the $95 billion foreign aid package the Senate passed last month.

Johnson tried to reassure frustrated GOP senators who asked him about funding for Ukraine during a question-and-answer session at the annual Senate Republican retreat, which was held at the Library of Congress.

Johnson told senators that the House will send a Ukraine aid package to the Senate but floated the idea of making it a loan or lend-lease program so U.S. taxpayers would not be shelling out tens of billions of dollars without any expectation of getting a return, according to senators who participated in the discussion.

The Speaker also talked about including something similar to the REPO for Ukrainians Act, sponsored by Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), which would authorize the confiscation of Russian sovereign assets and deposit the proceeds of liquidated property into a Ukraine support fund, senators said.

Notably, Johnson did not say whether such a Ukraine aid package would include tough border security reforms, such as “Remain in Mexico” language, which would face opposition from Senate Democrats.

Johnson gave Republican senators a pathway for helping Ukraine a day after he came under pressure from Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) to bring the Senate-passed package funding Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan to the House floor.
