Hungary Halts ‘€90 Billion Support Plan for Ukraine’... EU “We Will Keep Our Promises”

EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged to uphold financial commitments to Ukraine despite Hungary's veto against a €90 billion support plan.

As the war in Ukraine marks its fourth anniversary, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv on the 24th to reaffirm the EU's commitment to a €90 billion loan plan for Ukraine, insisting "we will keep our promises" despite Hungary's obstruction. Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban exercised a veto that halted the EU's support plan, citing grievances regarding past agreements but prompting EU leaders to emphasize that alternative measures will be sought to uphold their commitments to Ukraine. The veto came after a previously supportive stance from Hungary, which agreed to the resolution under conditions that now seem unfulfilled, highlighting the complexities of EU decision-making where unanimous agreement from member states is needed for budget execution.
