EU Leaders' Frustration Grows Over Hungary's Ukraine Standoff
EU leaders are preparing to move forward with a €50 billion Ukraine support package, despite Hungary's resistance, as they gear up for a tough summit. Hungary's inflexibility on aid demands has frustrated other EU member states, leading to discussions of potential consequences, including the use of Article 7 and the possibility of permanently shutting off EU funding to Budapest. The summit on February 1 will address renewed financial and military support for Ukraine, with EU leaders ready for a fight to reach a deal.
