    EU Leaders Condemn Orban’s Veto on Ukraine Aid as ‘Blackmail’

    نقلاً عن France 24

    News Brief: Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces backlash from EU leaders for refusing to lift his veto on financial aid for Ukraine, with accusations of disloyalty and blackmail. This marks another instance of Orban obstructing support for Ukraine despite previous agreements.

    During a summit on Thursday, EU leaders expressed outrage at Viktor Orban’s decision to maintain his veto on funds intended for Ukraine’s war effort. They labeled his actions a “gross act of disloyalty” and likened it to “blackmail.” This incident is not the first time Orban has blocked aid to Ukraine, but the situation is particularly tense given his prior agreement to the funding deal, according to France 24’s Kethevane Gorjestani.
