Hungary hinders EU's allocation of €500 million for military support to Ukraine again
Hungary's stance has caused EU foreign ministers to once again fail to agree on a EUR500 million tranche from the European Peace Fund, which is used to support Ukraine's military, during their meeting on Monday, 23 October. Source: Radio Liberty journalist Rikard Jozwiak on Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details: Joswiak noted that an agreement on the eighth tranche of EUR500 million from the European Peace Fund could not be reached due to Hungary's stance, which had previously blocked the decision because Ukraine had included the Hungarian OTP Bank in the list of international sponsors of the war.
