"EU Summit Showdown: Hungary's Standoff Over Ukraine Aid and Alleged Sabotage Plan"

Hungary signals willingness to compromise and use the EU budget for a proposed 50 billion euro aid package to Ukraine, following previous criticism of EU support for Kyiv and close ties with Russia. The EU denies discussing financial coercion to force Hungary's agreement and had proposed a workaround involving a deal between 26 members and Ukraine if Hungary did not agree to the original aid package. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto arrived in western Ukraine to prepare a possible meeting between Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.
