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.

        It just feels like the opposite time to intentionally weaken the EU and divide it up.

          At the same time, they seem set on weakening the EU from the inside.

          I don’t know what the better option is personally, this is purely an outside perspective.
