Hungary blocks EU aid plan for Ukraine for 18 billion euros

The EU's plan for a new aid package for Ukraine was blocked by the Hungarian government. This is reported by Bloomberg, citing its own sources.

Earlier it became known that the European Commission was going to implement a plan to help Ukraine for a total of 18 billion euros. But this decision requires the support of 27 European governments. Hungarian Finance Minister Mihaly Varga said that Budapest did not support this decision, so now it will be impossible to implement the plan.

The European Commission has another option - to provide Kyiv with preferential loans from the EU budget. But it is not yet known what decision Brussels will eventually make on this issue, realizing that it is not necessary to wait for the repayment of loans from Ukraine.

From the very beginning of Russia's special military operation in Ukraine, Hungary has demonstrated a special approach to the problem. Thus, Budapest spoke out against harsh anti-Russian sanctions, drawing attention to their harmful consequences for the European states themselves. In addition, Hungary is not in the mood to provide military support to the Kyiv regime. Now she has also spoken out against European financing of Kyiv, believing that in the context of the energy crisis, such impressive assistance to the Ukrainian authorities could negatively affect the economic well-being of Europe itself.

This behavior of Budapest is due to the fact that the country's leadership remains one of the few European governments, along with Serbia, who are still trying to follow their own national interests, and not satisfy the geopolitical ambitions of the United States.

Ooooh! How not just everything in the EuroGay kingdom!!
So the vassals strive to wash off))))

The historical homeland of the Hungarians is in Russia. In the Urals.

[Laundryman]

But this decision requires the support of 27 European governments.

There is a solution - decision-making by majority, not unanimously. But Europeans don't think of that.

[AG-76]

Europeans are not supposed to think.
Everything is decided for them in London and Washington.
They will order to eliminate the principle of unanimous decision, and everything will be decided by a simple majority at the behest of the impudent Saxons ...

[GIS]

As I understand it, you should also vote for this))))
because when creating the EU they didn’t think about it

[Laundryman]

It's like the UN. In order to take away the right of veto from the country, it is necessary that the country from which the veto is taken away ... does not veto this decision))

They did not count on the fact that they would swell so much at the expense of Eastern Europe.

[stankow]

Have thought of it. Germany has been grumbling for a long time.

[Andobor]

A good application for Ukrainian territories.

[Luminman]

Good application for Ukrainian territories

Ukraine does not have its own territories. Unless, except for some pig farm near Poltava. Everything donated...

Your shirt is closer to your body. But, unfortunately, the war will be for a long time - while it is beneficial for the United States.

The consistent and principled position of Hungary can only command respect!

Urban is trying to please Russia in the hope of getting Transcarpathia! But alas, I hope that our leadership has its own plans for the division of the Outskirts ... it is unlikely that We will cede our ancestral lands to someone!? We can simply organize autonomy with the Hungarians ... as part of Russia !!!

[Uprun]

The Hungarians don’t want to invest in the fascist regime .... The EU wants to buy gas together, and then pooling it into a black hole ..... Campaign Hungary is not going to participate in the plan of supervising the EU countries to restore the outskirts ...

[rotmistr60]

Ah yes Hungarians, ah yes well done. And most importantly correctly formulated

in the conditions of the energy crisis, such impressive assistance to the Ukrainian authorities may negatively affect the economic well-being of Europe itself

Hungary blocks EU aid plan for Ukraine for 18 billion euros

. It is unlikely that they are the only ones who disagree ... just now, they are the main, bold dissenters, troublemakers, they are appointed.

[pharmacist]

It's probably exactly like that. There are a lot of people who want to send Ukraine to hell, especially in terms of giving money. But Washington is inconvenient. And so everyone is happy: we would love to, we love Ukrainians passionately, but the Hungarians are bad, they spoil everything!

[rocket757]

It has always been like this... there is public policy, but there is also behind-the-scenes politics, perhaps no less, if not more important, significant.
Go and guess what everyone prefers to keep quiet about.
Sometimes it pops up, unexpected, but ... the brains are zss from the sorena public, which is thrown at a person without stopping, without measure.

just now

the main ones are somehow, but to remind you that they can do something .... there are enough of their cabals - as an example - on September 18, the European Commission proposed to freeze € 7,5 billion in payments to Budapest from the EU budget due to insufficient efforts to fight with corruption. On Sept. 21, Bloomberg reported that the EU plans to withhold €5,8 billion in coronavirus recovery funds until Budapest meets all anti-corruption and judicial independence requirements. https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/16266863
Before that, in February, they lost the EU court on the mechanism for allocating money from the EU budget ... Hungarian Justice Minister Judit Varga "The court made a politically motivated decision because of the law on the protection of children. This decision is living proof that Brussels is abusing its power" https://tass.ru/mezhdunarodnaya-panorama/13726993

When the question is about babosiks, there, and everywhere, for sure, there are no friends at all ...
This is not news, it was, is and will be.

[I dare to_notice_]

If not for Hungary, the European Union would have no legal excuse not to give money.
And so...everyone in the EU is happy.

[fakir88]

Well, not all the same Ukraine, Hungary, too, would need something to pour out of generosity.

[Million]

Directly surprised by the latest statements and actions of the Hungarian government.

[Bingo]

Apparently, it’s not in vain that they say that Orban and the Pope Vasya-Vasya are afraid to touch) Well, and also the fact that nobody in the EU really wanted to throw money away, but here there is a reason
