The European Union is planning a €6 billion military aid package for Ukraine, but Hungary is standing in the way. The support package could include millions of artillery shells and air defense systems to strengthen Ukraine’s defense against Russia.
The EU hopes the aid will boost Ukraine’s position in upcoming peace talks with Russia, led by the U.S. However, Hungary’s opposition threatens to delay the deal. Diplomatic sources say the package could grow to €10 billion, with each country contributing based on its economy.
EU leaders failed to agree on a concrete solution during an emergency meeting in Paris, and with the U.S. taking the lead in peace talks, the EU’s role is now in question.
