Summary
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.
He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.
While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.
Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain’t funding shit you’re being funded.
You should lose your vote of you don’t contribute, gives incentive to actually build your economy…
Relax, satan; that would be coercion. Hungary is very aware they can and have been penalized by acting like this by having funds whitheld.
We can argue it is coercion as well and I will agree but it was on the damn treaty when they signed to join the EU. Don’t want it? Uphold the treaty.
