Orbán promises Ukraine billions in EU money – under one condition. All 27 heads of state and government approved the planned support package worth 50 billion euros - including Hungary.
A compromise proposal put forward by Orbán did not go through: He had called for the EU to vote on aid to Ukraine every year. However, there was a small concession to Hungary: the other 26 countries granted the opportunity to discuss aid again at senior level after two years. Germany is in first place in Europe with 7 billion euros pledged for 2024.
