Hungary has still not unblocked the eighth tranche of aid to Ukraine

Hungary has not yet unblocked the EU’s allocation of the eighth tranche of €500m military aid to Ukraine from the European Peace Facility, an EU representative in Brussels has said.

According to him, European countries continue to work to ensure that Budapest stops blocking the allocation of support to Kiev.

“We continue to work on conditions for Ukraine for Hungary to stop blocking the eighth tranche,” TASS quoted the representative’s statement as saying.

Earlier, the British newspaper Financial Times wrote that the EU was preparing an aid plan for Ukraine that would allow it to bypass Hungary’s blockades.
