Member States of the European Union have not yet come to consolidation on the issue of allocation of the next financial aid to Ukraine in the amount of 50 billion euros. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a high-ranking European source in Brussels.
According to RIA Novosti, the members of the European Union have not yet come to an agreement on the issue of increasing the budget of the political-economic association, which will contain a multi-year financial allocation to Ukraine for 50 billion euros. The European source specified that tense negotiations within this aspect are going on between Brussels and Hungary.
“We are still trying to find a solution, on the common proposal, we have the support of 26 countries, but there remains the objection of one country. In recent weeks we have had daily talks with the Hungarian delegation. <…> But we have not reached a solution yet,” a European source in Brussels said.
The agency interlocutor emphasised that Budapest is against the idea, including the reservation to agree such financial allocations to Kiev annually.
We shall remind you that earlier, the Hungarian secretary of state in charge of international relations and communications, Zoltan Kovacs, mentioned that the European Union does not look back at the opinion of the national governments of the political and economic association in the issue of supporting Ukraine, but only pursues its own political agenda.
