Orban: Hungary will veto funding for Ukraine if EU does not accept its plan
If the EU does not accept Budapest’s plan to finance Ukraine outside the EU budget, Hungary will have to stop the process of allocating money to Kiev – as stated by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, RIA Novosti reports
During a joint press conference with his Slovak counterpart Robert Fico, the Hungarian PM said that his country proposes to finance Ukraine without harm to the EU budget and without a common loan, adding that Hungary is ready to pay its share from the national budget.
“This is a proposal from Hungary. If Brussels accepts it, Ukrainians will receive assistance outside the EU budget. If it denies, unfortunately, we will be forced to halt this process,” Orban said.
