Kallas: Calls for 'political courage' for the 90 billion in Ukraine
The EU's foreign policy chief, Kaia Kallas, urged leaders to demonstrate 'political courage' regarding a pending €90 billion loan for Ukraine amid complications in reaching a consensus.
Kaia Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, emphasized the necessity for leaders to exhibit significant 'political courage' to advance the planned €90 billion loan package for Ukraine, which has currently faced challenges. She highlighted that the agreement, initially conceptualized by EU leaders in December, is now being threatened, particularly due to the actions of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has been criticized for not acting in good faith regarding this issue. The assertion comes in light of the upcoming elections in Hungary, where political dynamics may be influencing Orbán's stance on the loan agreement.
