Hungary blocks EU's sanctions against Russia and loan to Ukraine

Hungary's opposition has prevented EU countries from agreeing to a new sanctions package against Russia and providing a €90 billion loan to Ukraine.

Hungary's veto has stalled the European Union's efforts to impose new sanctions on Russia and to offer a substantial loan of €90 billion to Ukraine. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions in the region, as Hungary maintains its position against measures that it views as detrimental to its own interests. While the EU aimed to act cohesively in this matter, Hungary’s stance complicates the process, leaving both the sanctions and the financial aid in limbo.
