Hungary says 'no' to $1.5 billion for Ukraine

At the EU Foreign Affairs Council meeting, Hungary's Deputy Prime Minister for Foreign Affairs, Szijjártó, stated that Hungary would oppose the EU community providing Ukraine with 1.5 trillion dollars over the next ten years. According to Szijjártó, the EU Partnership Council 'will not succumb to pressure,' and the Hungarian representative will maintain a 'no' stance. This decision reflects Hungary's position, which previously refused agreements on Ukraine, emphasizing the need to reconsider the level of financial assistance.

Context

Since 2014, the EU has been providing Ukraine with financial and humanitarian support, but Hungary's position has remained skeptical since then.
