Orban Slams EU's Ukraine Aid Plan, Calls Promises 'Unrealistic' and 'Empty'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has criticized the European Union's financial support plan for Ukraine, calling it unrealistic and filled with "empty promises." Following a heated EU leaders' meeting, Orban claimed the bloc has "no money left" to continue funding Ukraine’s military and government operations.
Budapest has repeatedly blocked or delayed EU aid to Ukraine, urging a shift toward peace talks instead of escalation.
Hungary blocks EU military aid to Ukraine, refusing to back a joint declaration supporting more arms for Kyiv. Prime Minister Viktor Orban opposed the “pro-war” stance, forcing EU leaders to bypass his veto. He argues the EU cannot finance Ukraine entirely. Moscow claims Western military aid only prolongs the war, increasing tensions over the conflict.

Hungary LGBTQ ban passed as parliament votes to outlaw pride events nationwide. Opposition lawmakers set off smoke bombs in protest, but the law passed 136-27. It expands restrictions on LGBTQ content to public gatherings, granting police power to film attendees and imposing $500 fines. Thousands protested in Budapest, blocking Margaret Bridge. PM Viktor Orban claims LGBTQ activism threatens Hungary’s Christian values, but critics call it authoritarian overreach. Budapest Pride organizers vow resistance, calling the law fascist oppression.

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 has firmly rejected reported US proposals for Washington to take control of Ukraine’s nuclear power infrastructure. Amid reports that former US President Donald Trump suggested such a move for Ukraine’s “best protection,” Zelensky clarified that all nuclear plants, including the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia plant, belong solely to Ukraine. He denied discussing any ownership transfer with Trump but acknowledged talks on regaining control of the facility from Russia. Meanwhile, international negotiations continue over a partial ceasefire, with concerns mounting over Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure.

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.
