Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has once again blocked efforts by the European Union to approve a major financial support package for Ukraine during a recent EU summit.
Leaders of the European Union have been trying to finalize a loan plan aimed at supporting Ukraine’s economy amid the ongoing war, but Hungary has continued to oppose the proposal.
Viktor Orbán has argued that more discussions are needed and has raised concerns about how the funds would be used, as well as the broader financial impact on EU member states.
The continued blockage has frustrated other EU leaders, who see the financial aid as critical to helping Ukraine maintain stability during the conflict with Russia.
Talks are expected to continue as the European Union seeks a compromise to move the proposal forward.
