Kallas: Hungary’s behavior makes it increasingly difficult for the EU

by AI | 07.Mar 2025 | Europe in brief AI

Hungary’s resistance to more European support for Ukraine makes decision-making “increasingly difficult”, complains EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas. Hungary threatens to disrupt the impromptu summit on additional aid for Ukraine and the rearmament of Europe.

BRUSSEL (ANP) – The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has repeatedly stalled actions against Russia and support for Ukraine, or even opposed them. Therefore, Ukraine’s allies now prefer to work outside the European Union so that Orbán cannot block plans with a veto.

“Yes, this is getting more difficult. That’s why we are considering a coalition of the willing under the new initiatives,” said Kallas upon arrival at the EU summit in Brussels. She refers to her plans to agree that EU countries will allocate at least 20 billion euros for Ukraine this year. A leading group of supporters of Ukraine, working on security guarantees for the country, is also busy forming a ‘coalition of the willing.’
