EU leaders gathering in Brussels will press Budapest to unblock the funds.\u00a0 As Russian attacks continue, Ukraine is running out of funds to keep its economy afloat and deliver key services such as running hospitals or keeping schools open to teach children. The last round of European Union (EU) financial aid for Kyiv was disbursed in December, and there is no guaranteed EU funding on the horizon. A plan to secure \u20ac50 billion ($54.1 billion) to tide Ukraine over until 2027 through EU budget support remains deadlocked after Hungary vetoed the agreement in December.<\/p>\n<p>EU leaders will gather in Brussels to try and hash out a deal on Thursday. &#8220;The level of nervousness is quite high,&#8221; a senior EU official said ahead of the meeting, noting there was mounting &#8220;frustration&#8221; toward Hungary from many of the bloc&#8217;s 26 other member states.<\/p>\n<p>Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has rarely shied away from being cast as an EU outlier. While the bloc has consistently condemned and sanctioned Russia for its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Orban drew criticism from some EU counterparts when he was pictured shaking hands with Russian President Vladimir Putinin October.<\/p>\n<p>The Hungarian leader has delayed agreements on EU sanctions against Moscow as well as deals to support Ukraine on several occasions. He has also called for Kyiv to lay down arms and accept a cease-fire. While other EU leaders have stressed the need to shore up Ukraine&#8217;s financial security to send a message to Russia that the bloc will stay the course with Kyiv, Orban has publicly opposed long-term funding.&#8221;We do not know what&#8217;s going to happen in Ukraine in the next three or four months,&#8221; he told the French weekly news magazine Le Point on Tuesday. &#8220;Their proposition goes in the direction of a military solution \u2014 something I do not subscribe to. Hungarians don&#8217;t like that either,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>In a bid to secure an agreement, EU leaders are likely to offer Hungary an annual debate to review the implementation of the funding model for Kyiv. While Orban has signaled some openness to striking a deal, he told Le Point that he wanted a regular opportunity to veto funding. &#8220;It has to be unanimous,&#8221; he said. That&#8217;s likely to be a red line for other EU member states. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s clear that we are not willing to introduce new vetoes,&#8221; one EU diplomat said ahead of talks. That means the debate in the room could come down to details over what such an annual review might comprise.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-leaders-to-press-hungary-on-ukraine-funding-deal\/a-68135099\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/eu-leaders-to-press-hungary-on-ukraine-funding-deal\/a-68135099\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/eu-leaders-to-press-hungary-on-ukraine-funding-deal\/\">EU leaders to press Hungary on Ukraine funding deal<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[569,274,1716,2214,3095,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-125047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-deal","tag-eu","tag-funding","tag-hungary","tag-leaders","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125047\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
