Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán revealed a letter from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen requesting additional financial aid for Ukraine. The letter reportedly asked for an extra €135 billion over two years, a sum Orbán described as "impossible" and "absurd," comparing it to Hungarian pensions and the EU's annual budget. Orbán criticized the request, citing Hungary's own financial penalties and independent stance on issues like migration and the war, suggesting a common EU loan as the proposed funding mechanism.
