Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmytro Kuleba, expressed confidence that the European Union, despite Hungary's temporary blockade, will decide to allocate 50 billion euros to Ukraine.
He emphasized that the decision on the extraordinary summit was not caused by Hungary's veto, but only by the desire of the other 26 European countries to give Hungary time to agree on a position.
"They (the EU) do not want to have a situation where "minus one" decisions are constantly being adopted," said Kuleba.
In the absence of an agreement within a month, the money will still be allocated, and the question remains whether this decision will be implemented by all 27 EU countries or without Hungary.
Earlier, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, after the negotiations of the EU leaders on December 14-15, said that the Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban, did not allow the adoption of the EU budget decision, which would include a medium-term aid program for Ukraine worth 50 billion euros. In this regard, the leaders agreed on an extraordinary summit dedicated to this issue, which will be held on February 1.
