Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban stated on Thursday that his nation’s place on the conflict in Ukraine stays unchanged.
Orban stated that on Wednesday night and Thursday morning that Hungary and European Union held lengthy, troublesome negotiations on whether or not the block ought to help Ukraine with funds.
“We received an offer last night and this morning and we finally negotiated a control mechanism that guarantees reasonable use of the money. We received a guarantee that Hungary’s funds cannot go to Ukraine,” stated Orban.
Hungary opposed monetary support to Ukraine on the grounds that the EU finances ought to help the member states, that there’s critical corruption in Ukraine, and that the West’s help within the conflict has not yielded outcomes.
“Hungary’s funds will not end up in Ukraine and we have a control mechanism at the end of the first and the second year. Our position on the war in Ukraine remains unchanged: we need a cease-fire and peace talks,” stated Orban.
EU leaders on Thursday agreed on an extra help package deal for Ukraine throughout the EU finances.
In December, the leaders couldn’t agree on a €50 billion package deal ($54.4 billion) of monetary support for Kyiv as a result of opposition from Hungary.
