"EU Commits €50bn Aid Package to Ukraine, Overcomes Orban Opposition"
TL;DR Summary
European leaders swiftly approved €50bn in aid for Ukraine, overcoming the influence of Viktor Orban, the Hungarian prime minister who had previously blocked the aid. The funding will help Ukraine address a budget shortfall and comes at a crucial time as support from the US has been hindered by partisan issues. The summit also highlighted the waning patience of European leaders with Orban's obstructionist tactics, ultimately leading to a unified decision to support Ukraine and diminish Orban's influence.
