EU Split: Italy, Spain & France Question Ukraine Aid Boost | Spain’s FM Albares Backs €1B Pledge

Italy and Spain have pushed back against the EU’s plan to double military aid to Ukraine, citing concerns over timing and ongoing diplomatic talks.

The proposal, led by EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, aims to raise aid from €20 billion to €40 billion by 2025.

While northern and eastern EU nations strongly support the move, southern countries like Italy and Spain are urging caution.

Even France has voiced concerns, adding to the growing divide within the bloc.

Hungary and Slovakia have outright refused to participate, but EU officials say their opposition won't derail the plan.

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~
