Hungary’s Orbán to face pressure over Ukraine loan veto at EU summit
AI Summary
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is facing pressure at an EU summit to lift his veto on a €90 billion loan for Ukraine. Orbán is blocking the loan, citing damage to the Druzhba oil pipeline, which supplies Hungary with Russian oil via Ukraine. He insists the pipeline must be repaired before he approves the funding. Other EU leaders are frustrated, as Hungary previously agreed to the loan in December, and see no alternative solution. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated Ukraine is making efforts to repair the pipeline and hopes the EU will uphold its promise of financial support. The loan is intended to provide Ukraine with urgently needed military supplies and general budget support.
