The EU will not give Hungary any preferences in exchange for financing Ukraine, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said.
“This is not about someone in the European Union getting an award for being a political blackmailer,” RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.
According to Tusk, many believe that his policies have nothing to do with Ukraine and Orban wants to circumvent European regulation.
“I can say that no politician is inclined to make such a strange compromise. No one will pay Viktor Orban to agree to comply with our regulations,” he added.
Earlier, Viktor Orbán accused the EU of an ideological war against Hungary.
In Orbán’s opinion, the EU is getting closer to imperialism and looks less and less like a community of sovereign states.
Before that, the Financial Times quoted an EU document as saying that the EU might sabotage the Hungarian economy if Budapest does not lift its veto on aid to Kiev at a summit in Brussels on 1 February.
