After a prolonged silence, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán took to social media, declaring the EU's decision to aid Ukraine as his own victory, according to the statement of the Prime Minister of Hungary.
Orbán claimed that Hungary had supposedly negotiated a "control mechanism" ensuring the "reasonable use of funds" for Ukraine.
"We've achieved this! Hungarians should not be giving money to Ukrainians! We will not participate in the war, will not send weapons; we remain on the side of peace!" he declared.
The Hungarian leader also expressed satisfaction that the markets responded positively to the deal.
Aid for Ukraine
One of the main topics of today's summit in Brussels was an attempt to reach an agreement on a financial aid package of 50 billion euros for Ukraine over four years.
It should be recalled that the package was blocked by Hungary during the previous meeting on December 1.
However, despite everything, EU leaders approved the allocation of 50 billion euros for Ukraine within the framework of the Ukraine Facility program.
The conditions under which the aid for our country was unblocked have also been disclosed.
