Hungary's new government lifts blockade on EU compensation for weapons to Ukraine

nv.ua (Ukrainian)

Hungary's new government has ended a two-year blockade on EU compensation for weapons supplied to Ukraine. This decision unblocks over 40 billion euros in accumulated debt, immediately releasing 6.6 billion euros for donor countries like Germany and the Netherlands. The European Peace Facility reimburses states for approximately 40% of the cost of weapons provided to Ukraine. The move follows Hungary's recent agreements with the EU on frozen funds and signals a shift in Budapest's stance, though it still refrains from direct military aid to Ukraine.
