Hungary has blocked a roughly 50 billion-euro ($55 billion) European Union financial aid package for Ukraine shortly after EU leaders in Brussels officially began membership talks with the war-torn country and its neighbor Moldova—a process that has long been sought by both nations.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban confirmed the veto of the long-term economic support package on X, formerly known as Twitter. The aid package requires the unanimous support of all 27 EU member states.
