Hungary is the only country in Europe that does not send money to Ukraine, and does not have an austerity package, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in Parliament on Thursday, at the Forum of Hungarian Lawmakers of the Carpathian Basin.
Former Ukrainian deputy Hryhoriy Omelchenko has threatened Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his family in a video uploaded to YouTube, news portal Index.hu reported on Wednesday.
Speaking to Europe Today, Poland's top diplomat accused Budapest of escalating its blockade of a €90bn Ukraine loan and Russia sanctions package, warning that Europe must act decisively as US support falters.
On 24 February, the European Parliament announced that it had signed off on a €90 billion loan to support Ukraine. On social media, some users claimed this showed Brussels had overridden Hungary’s opposition to the loan. However, this is only one part of the legislative process.
