Hungary's Blockade Prevents €50bn EU Funding for Ukraine
TL;DR Summary
Hungary has blocked €50bn of EU aid for Ukraine shortly after an agreement was reached on starting membership talks. While Hungary did not veto the decision to open membership talks, it opposes Ukraine's membership and maintains close ties with Russia. The aid negotiations will resume early next year. Ukraine is heavily dependent on EU and US funding as it continues to fight against occupying Russian forces.
