'We won't be dragged into this' — Hungary opposes $22 billion EU aid package for Ukraine
Summary
Hungary’s Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto rejected an EU proposal to send Ukraine an additional €20 billion ($22 billion) in aid, stating Hungary will not fund arms shipments.
He instead claimed to be advocating for peace negotiations, aligning with Donald Trump’s push for a swift settlement.
Hungary’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban has repeatedly obstructed EU sanctions on Russia and military support for Ukraine.
While the EU extended sanctions unanimously, concerns are growing over Budapest’s opposition to unified action on Ukraine as European leaders push for stronger support.
I mean, Hungary is barely a European country. It's just a fascist Russia-sucker in cosplay. This is news?
"We won't be dragged into this without Russians approval" that's the real headline
Just kick them out of the union then, you want to stand with Russia, fuck off and see how much they're willing to support you while their economy tanks
People are already protesting there, so suspending would make more sense.
Is it even technically possible in the current state of EU to kick and suspend membership of one of the country?
I think they need to all vote in favour for it to work, so I doubt they would vote for their own ban?
Nothing will improve EU centrism and unity in Europe more than starting bullying member states into doing exactly what Brussels says, right? 😅
Hungary is not a net contributor to the EU, you ain't funding shit you're being funded.
Ah they'd make a perfect Republican state
You should lose your vote of you don't contribute, gives incentive to actually build your economy...
Relax, satan; that would be coercion. Hungary is very aware they can and have been penalized by acting like this by having funds whitheld.
We can argue it is coercion as well and I will agree but it was on the damn treaty when they signed to join the EU. Don't want it? Uphold the treaty.
The Hungarians are aware that their government is making them poorer just so that they can drink more Russian cum.
FTFY 'We won't be dragged into this' — famously pro-Russia Hungary opposes $22 billion EU aid package for Ukraine
Time to swap Hungary for Canada ..
Hungary? You mean Russia light?
This. Every trick Orbán used is straight from Putin. After he fully seized power in Russia, authoritarians the world over flocked to Moscow to learn directly from the master. Then they went home and got to work. The Danube Institute, the Hungarian equivalent of the Heritage Foundation, hosted a large neoreactionary conference where they laid out the case that democracy doesn't work. That democracy is a well-meaning but fundamentally flawed system of government. The reason they think it's flawed? Because it requires giving all people equality under the law. Women equal to men, gay equal to straight, non-Christian equal to Christian, Non-white equal to White, and this is really the only one that matters, poor equal to wealthy. The obscenely wealthy cannot comprehend a world in which the voice of those with less wealth is equal to their voice. By virtue of their enormous fortunes, taken through exploitation and inherited from their ancestors, they feel that they and they alone should have the right to govern. That they are inherently superior because they were fortunate enough to be born into lives of wealth, connection, and privilege.
Traitors and Putin puppets. Disgusting.
We won't be dragged into this? Well they don't get to make that choice. Russia already dragged everyone into this when they invaded a sovereign nation. You can't really claim indifference to an invasion, that's the same as condoning it. I agree with a lot of other people on this thread. Suspend them until they prove their moral compass aligns with ours. Now they're just working to hinder our democracy
Keep whining Orban, your days are numbered! You will lose the next election and you will face justice you fucking ugly fat cunt.
Just time to turn off the money to the corrupt crook that is Orban. Gtfo of EU until you get your shit together
A fool to not see they're already in it.
We all know they won't be dragged in and can't be dragged in because they're already fully involved, just on the wrong side
I oppose Hungary
