Hungary was successful in the negotiations before the European Union summit. Orbán announced that the issue of Russian assets would not be on the agenda, which was also commented on by the President of the EC.
Hungary won the negotiations before the EU summit, as the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, announced that the issue of frozen Russian assets will not be on the agenda of Thursday’s European Union summit. According to the atv.hu server, this was announced by the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orbán, reports the TASR correspondent in Budapest.
Behind-the-scenes negotiations led to results, the Hungarian Prime Minister added in Brussels after arriving at Wednesday’s meeting of the leadership of the Patriots for Europe (PfE) political group.
EU joint credit
Orbán also rejects the idea of a joint EU loan, which would be used instead of Russian assets. He declared that Hungary will not take responsibility for a loan that would be used to support Ukraine, and believes that the EU should not go down this path either. The prime minister emphasized that the government will do everything to prevent the proposal, while looking for allies, writes atv.hu.
