At a meeting in Brussels, Hungary told the Ministers of Finance of the EU countries that she would not support the necessary changes to prepare a package of assistance to Ukraine in the amount of 18 billion euros next year, Bloomberg writes with reference to sources.
The European Commission will offer to provide Kyiv with preferential loans on a more stable basis, but this initiative will require the use of additional space available in the EU budget. Hungarian Finance Minister Mikhai Varga told his colleagues that he would not support the option that requires unanimous support of 27 governments.
At the beginning of the week, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Hungary Peter Siyyarto said that his country would not support a plan for long -term financial support of Ukraine.
