Brussels will be outraged: Orbán disclosed Hungary’s vote about the Ukraine aid
Change language:
Hungary will not endorse the policy of European Union member states raising joint loans to aid Ukraine, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán told a meeting of the Hungarian Permanent Conference (MÁÉRT) on Friday.Instead, EU member states should work out how much money is needed for Ukraine to run its state and distribute the costs proportionately and fairly, Orbán said. Accordingly, Hungary would provide 60-70 billion forints (EUR 146-170m) annually from the national budget as part of a bilateral agreement concluded with Ukraine, he added. The prime minister declared that Hungary condemns Russian aggression and is committed to helping the Ukrainian people, but it is not willing to put Ukraine’s interests before its own.
The sums involved would not harm basic Hungarian national interests even if this amount would be missing from the Hungarian budget, he added.
Another nail in the coffin, by the Hungarian Government with the European Union.
