Looks like the EU will have to find an emergency solution for Ukraine until the Hungarian election is over.
EU summit – no solution on Ukrainian loans. The EU leaders do not seem to have succeeded in convincing Viktor Orbán to lift his veto regarding the Ukrainian emergency loans.
That Viktor Orbán chooses to backtrack on an agreement from a previous summit is seen as extremely serious. One thing is to oppose a decision beforehand, another is to obstruct something the 27 countries have agreed on. See the article on SVT News.
The Ukraine loans: The Hungarian election issue affects the entire EU summit. With just weeks left until the election, the dispute with Zelensky is going well for Orbán. He is behind in the polls, and his statements about Ukraine have intensified. The government describes Ukraine as hostile to Hungary and that the country, together with the EU and the opposition, risks dragging Hungary into the war. Watch the segment on SVT News.
