And 26 are more than one,&#8221; Ant\u00f3nio Costa said after an EU summit focused on Ukraine&#8217;s future. &#8221;Hungary is isolated,&#8221; Ant\u00f3nio Costa declared on Thursday at the end of a special EU summit that saw Viktor Orb\u00e1n block the approval of joint conclusions in support of Ukraine, forcing leaders to go ahead with an attached &#8221;extract&#8221; endorsed by 26.<\/p>\n<p>The final text speaks about &#8221;peace through strength,&#8221; military assistance and security guarantees for Kyiv, all of which Orb\u00e1n has opposed. Prior to the summit, the Hungarian prime minister publicly signalled his intention to veto the proposed language, arguing it ran contrary to US President Donald Trump&#8217;s deal-making initiative, to which Orb\u00e1n has firmly aligned himself. Slovakia&#8217;s Robert Fico had expressed reservations but was won over after heads of state and government added a brief reference to the gas dispute between Bratislava and Kyiv.<\/p>\n<p>With Orb\u00e1n unwilling to relent, leaders in the room opted at such a crucial moment for Ukraine to proceed with a more ambitious text, albeit signed by only 26, rather than a heavily diluted version that Budapest might tolerate. &#8221;Hungary has a different strategic approach on Ukraine,&#8221; Ant\u00f3nio Costa, the president of the European Council, said at the end of the high-stakes meeting in Brussels. &#8221;That means that Hungary is isolated among the 27. We respect Hungary&#8217;s position, but it&#8217;s one out of 27. And 26 are more than one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite the lack of unanimity, Costa said he was &#8221;very happy&#8221; with the outcome and promised the EU would continue to stand &#8221;shoulder to shoulder&#8221; with Ukraine. Regarding Orb\u00e1n&#8217;s threat to block the renewal of sanctions on Russia, Costa seemed unconcerned, saying the country had endorsed all the 16 rounds of restrictions currently in place.<\/p>\n<p>Echoing his message, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stressed that ramping up assistance for Ukraine&#8217;s armed forces had &#8221;never been more urgent&#8221;. Earlier this week, the US temporarily suspended military aid and intelligence-sharing with Ukraine in a bid to pressure President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into fast-tracked negotiations with Russia. Both decisions risk having disastrous consequences for the country on the battlefield.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/07\/hungary-is-isolated-antonio-costa-says-after-orban-blocks-joint-eu-text-on-ukraine\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2025\/03\/07\/hungary-is-isolated-antonio-costa-says-after-orban-blocks-joint-eu-text-on-ukraine\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/153400\/\">\u2019Hungary is isolated,\u2019 Ant\u00f3nio Costa says after Orb\u00e1n blocks joint EU text on Ukraine<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[18161,18162,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-138098","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-antonio-costa","tag-hungary-is-isolated","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138098","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138098"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138098\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138098"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138098"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138098"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
