Orban is ready to agree to support Kyiv if the amount is approved annually. Earlier, Advisor to the Prime Minister of Hungary Balazs Orban said that the Hungarian side had put forward conditions for the EU to approve the aid package for Ukraine.

The Financial Times, with reference to an EU document, wrote that the EU could sabotage the Hungarian economy if Budapest does not lift its veto on aid to Kyiv at the summit in Brussels on February 1. The Hungarian authorities decided to make a compromise proposal because they do not agree that €50 billion should be given to Ukraine.
