FT: EU leaders will gather to sort things out with Orban over Ukraine

The Financial Times newspaper writes about this.

It is noted that the heads of the EU countries will make a last attempt to force Orban to agree to provide “vital aid” to Kyiv amid worsening relations between Brussels and Budapest.

European officials fear that if the Hungarian prime minister maintains a veto on aid to Kyiv, this will lead to “an irreparable rupture within the union.”

It is noted that financing of Ukraine in the amount of €50 billion over the next four years cannot be approved without the consent of the Hungarian authorities.

Previously, Orban accused the EU of an ideological war against Hungary.

In his opinion, the European Union is getting closer to imperialism and less and less like a community of sovereign states.

Prior to this, 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.
