At an emergency summit of the European Union, Hungary became the only country that refused to sign a statement on providing aid to Ukraine. This was reported by the press service of the European Council.
According to the press service, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán was the only one of the 27 EU heads of state who refused to sign a statement on providing humanitarian, military, diplomatic, economic, political and financial assistance to Kiev.
“The EU discussed the latest developments regarding Ukraine. The text prepared received the strong support of 26 heads of state. The European Council will return to the discussion at the next meeting,” the statement said.
The European Council added that Hungary also opposed the statement on the interconnection of transatlantic, global, European and Ukrainian security.
We shall remind you that earlier European Council President António Costa said before the defence summit in Brussels that peace talks on Ukraine will start only when the EU decides “that the right moment has come”.
