Another Setback for Zelensky After Trump’s Aid Block? Hungary’s Veto Stalls €30BN EU Aid [Video]

Another Setback for Zelensky After Trump’s Aid Block? Hungary’s Veto Stalls €30BN EU Aid

Another Setback for Zelensky After Trump’s Aid Block? Hungary has blocked a €30 billion EU military aid package for Ukraine at an emergency European Council meeting in Brussels, despite strong backing from the other 26 member states. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban vetoed the proposal, arguing it promotes further fighting instead of peace. The decision delays much-needed assistance to Kyiv, with the final ruling now pushed to the next EU leaders' summit on March 20. Meanwhile, EU leaders, including European Council President Antonio Costa and foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, are exploring ways to bypass Hungary’s veto. The deadlock comes as reports indicate that former U.S. President Donald Trump has frozen new military aid to Ukraine, urging the EU to take greater responsibility. #Zelensky #UkraineAid #EU #HungaryVeto #UkraineWar #MilitaryAid #Trump #NATO #RussiaUkraineWar #ViktorOrban #Geopolitics #Europe #UkraineCrisis #EUPolitics #DefenseSpending Also Read US, UK Diplomats Announce $1.5 Billion Aid for Ukraine During Kyiv Visit :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-uk-pledge-additional-aid-for-ukraine-011-3932121.html?ref=DMDesc Biden Endorses $95 Billion Aid for Ukraine and Israel as House Faces Political Strife :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/biden-backs-ukraine-israel-aid-package-amid-political-tensions-011-3802481.html?ref=DMDesc Biden Calls for Swift Approval of Ukraine Aid as Navalnys Death Raises Stakes :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/biden-urges-ukraine-aid-amid-navalnys-death-gen-3753277.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~GR.125~PR.152~ED.194~

‘Putin’s Ceasefire Response Not Complete’: Trump Calls Out Putin’s Shocking Demands for Ceasefire

Putin’s ‘Incomplete’ Ceasefire Response. Trump has raised concerns over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s stance on a proposed Ukraine ceasefire, calling it “promising… but not complete.” Speaking alongside NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the White House, Trump emphasized the urgency of ending the war, stating, “I’d love to talk to him (Putin), but we have to get it over with fast. Every day, people are being killed.” His remarks come as U.S. officials are in Moscow trying to broker a truce, but Putin has expressed reservations, insisting that key Russian conditions must be met. While Moscow claims to support the ceasefire "in theory," the Kremlin’s undisclosed demands could significantly impact the negotiations. #Putin #UkraineCeasefire #Trump #TrumpUkraine #PutinCeasefire #RussiaUkraineWar #TrumpPutin #UkraineWar #RussiaCeasefire #TrumpOnUkraine #CeasefireTalks #PutinUkraine #USUkraineDeal #TrumpRussiaUkraine #UkraineCrisis Also Read Trump Sends Letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Seeking New Deal on Nuclear Programme :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-sends-letter-to-iran-supreme-leader-nuclear-programme-011-4089523.html?ref=DMDesc Trump Terminates Chevron's Permit for Venezuelan Oil Exports Amid Political Tensions :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-ends-permit-for-chevron-exporting-venezuelan-oil-011-4081743.html?ref=DMDesc Musk Highlights His Role as Humble Tech Support During Trump's Cabinet Meeting :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/musk-humble-tech-support-trump-cabinet-meeting-011-4081741.html?ref=DMDesc

Macron Slams Putin : Macron hit back at Russian President Vladimir Putin after the latter compared him to Napoleon, accusing Putin of being an "imperialist" trying to "rewrite history." Macron’s fiery remarks came after Putin suggested that some leaders still dream of Napoleonic conquests, hinting at Macron’s stance on Russia. The French president dismissed the comparison, stating that the only imperial power in Europe today is Russia, which is attempting to manipulate history and identities.
