Hungary continues to block approval of this decision.

The European Union again failed to unanimously approve the allocation of the eighth tranche in the amount of 500 million euros for the purchase of weapons for Ukraine.

According to an UNIAN correspondent, Vice President of the European Commission, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said this at a press conference following an informal meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the European Union member states, which was held in Toledo (Spain) .

“I must express my regret that the eighth tranche of the European Peace Fund is still blocked. I hope that we will be able to unblock it in the coming weeks. But this is a problem that cannot be solved,” Borrell said.

  1. So ridiculous how a fascist and most insignificant country of the EU and NATO blocks badly needed aid to Ukraine. Orban is Vlad’s bought and paid for whore.

      • Both the EU and NATO had made huge mistakes in not having provisions in their rules that allow such trash countries to be expelled. Now they have an evil Trojan Horse in their midst.

    you can add the UN
    that a country can have a right of veto regarding a conflict in which it is a party is incredible!
    it seems that the regression of systems is never thought of… no individual is safe from a stroke of madness, no state is safe from fascism… neither Israel nor the USA, europeans countries, no one.

    I add that the United States is in favor of Turkey joining Europe in order to weaken Europe.
    Is Europe working to fracture the USA? Do European countries have a malicious attitude towards the United States?
    no None.

    European construction is also taking place under the gaze of many people who want to destroy it, weaken it, and take away its power.
