the Twenty-Seven open their door to Ukraine, but Hungary blocks aid of 50 billion euros

Viktor Orban is the man resisting the European Union. On the night of Thursday December 14 to 15, the other members of the EU failed to convince the Hungarian Prime Minister, who was resistant to crucial aid for Ukraine. “Night shift summary: veto on additional money to Ukraine, veto on budget revision”indicated Viktor Orban on X. This aid of 50 billion euros in the form of loans and donations is planned over four years starting next year.

A new summit should take place in January

A failure far from worrying Charles Michel. “We have sent a very strong signal to European citizens, a very strong signal to Ukrainian citizens. I think that for this meeting we have taken a big step in the right direction”, confided the President of the European Council. Earlier in the day, the Twenty-Seven had managed to agree on the opening of negotiations for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union. A new summit is expected to take place in January. Despite Hungary’s reluctance, many have hope that Europe will be united.
