In a recent interview with Žinių radijas, A. Skaisgirytė addressed the ongoing challenge the European Union (EU) faces regarding Hungary's persistent vetoes on decisions, particularly those linked to support for Ukraine. She noted that the European Commission and the Council are actively exploring legal avenues to circumvent these vetoes, creatively applying articles from the Lisbon Treaty while also resorting to political pressure. This political dynamic involves communication from larger EU member states directly to the Hungarian Prime Minister, highlighting the urgency and importance of reaching consensus on critical issues.

Skaisgirytė pointed out that Hungary often disrupts or delays decisions that the EU must make collectively, which can create an uncomfortable pattern for the bloc. Besides blocking decisions or complicating the approval process, Hungary sometimes withdraws from consensus, resulting in decisions being made with only 26 member states instead of the full 27. This pattern particularly affects urgent matters such as aid to Ukraine, which requires every member's agreement to ensure effective action from the EU.

Despite these hurdles, Skaisgirytė expressed confidence that the EU would ultimately find a resolution to these issues, and that necessary decisions would be made in support of Ukraine. The ongoing situation underscores the complexities within the EU concerning sovereignty, national interests, and collective decision-making, revealing the tensions between member states and the need for unity during crises.
