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.

    Nothing will improve EU centrism and unity in Europe more than starting bullying member states into doing exactly what Brussels says, right? 😅
