EU fails to agree on Ukraine aid

EU - Ukraine aid news

Hungary has vetoed the bloc’s joint statement that would have seen Kiev receive €30 billion in aid by the end of the year.

The European Union has failed to agree on a new €30 billion ($32 billion) military aid package for Ukraine after Hungary vetoed the measure at an emergency European Council meeting in Brussels on Thursday. Despite broad support from the other 26 EU members, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban blocked the leaders’ statement, delaying further assistance to Kiev.

The proposed five-point agreement included security guarantees for Ukraine, a commitment that no negotiations with Russia would take place without Kiev, and a pledge to uphold Ukraine’s territorial integrity. However, Orban, a vocal critic of military aid to Ukraine and an advocate for peace talks, rejected the proposal, arguing that it contradicted Hungary’s stance.

”It talks about Ukraine needing to be strengthened so that it can fight even further. And Hungary, of course, did not support it because this was completely contrary to our position in favor of peace,” Orban told reporters after the meeting.

According to the conclusive statement published on the European Council website, the final decision on Ukraine’s support has been postponed until the next EU leaders’ summit, scheduled for March 20.

Meanwhile, European Council President Antonio Costa signaled that the EU is looking for ways to continue military aid to Ukraine despite Hungary’s objections.

”Hungary has a different approach on Ukraine; it means Hungary is isolated within the EU27 – and 26 are more than one,” Costa said. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also hinted at an alternative plan, saying the bloc is working on a “coalition of the willing” that would allow member states to continue providing military assistance to Ukraine without requiring unanimous approval.

The emergency summit was convened amid growing concerns among EU leaders over the impact of US President Donald Trump’s recent policy shift on Ukraine. Multiple media reports suggest that Trump has frozen new military aid to Kiev. He has also urged the EU to take on greater responsibility for Ukraine’s war effort and its own defense.

While the decision on Ukraine aid was delayed, EU leaders, including Orban, approved a separate initiative to boost European defense spending by up to €800 billion. The plan, known as ReArm Europe, was unveiled earlier this week by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, who said she will present legal proposals within the next two weeks.

Russia has repeatedly warned against Western military support for Ukraine, arguing that it only prolongs the conflict and increases the risk of escalation.

    • Yes, it were the jewish bankers who financed Hitler and bankrupt Germany
      through the Bank for International Settlement or BIS, Basel Switzerland ( meant to pays war damages to France by Germany nota bene. France never got war damages) but in reallity created for the purpose of financing war against Germany in the 1930’s. Both sides of the war were actually financed by the same jewish bankers.

      Read ” The tower of Basel” by Adam Lebor ( amazon have it) very well documented wuth who is who and what they did. As well as pages of internet links to sources

      The BIS is extremely discreet ,- you will never read anything about it in the news – and still very active, a.o. in promoting and implementing digital currency. A creature of Rothchild acting in the shadow in its bunker in Basel. It seems that some acts cannot bear the light of the day

    • No Europe does not have money for war. Neither army/ volunteers. Only huge governments’ debt. That is why they want war, otherwise they will have to default on their debt.
      Huge debt that cannot be reimbursed. Because all European industries have been either de-localized to cheap wage countries or stolen by the US vulture or destroyed by jewish high finance wanting quick profits.
      So Europe has no ” heavy industry” any more or any industry of importance. No cheap energy to produce as Nordstream was destroyed by our ” friend and ally” and so no meaningfull source of revenue any more. So no money.
      Europe has only a huge immigration (unwanted by the european population ) of people from african/ muslim countries at war, sucking out its last ressources .
      Europe has no army and the weaponry/ arms Europe had went to NATO/ Ukraine to fight and try to destroy Russia . Most of its arms have been destroyed in Ukraine .
      Got nothing more than deserved i am sorry to say
      Europe is finished for the time being
      What the BCE is doing now is desperatly printing worthless paper, driving inflation up.
      Ms von der Liar ( and her euroclique) wants now to get her dirty little fingers on the savings of europeans and fleece them completely.. To buy arms..
      Covid scam and “loans” to the little Ukrainian crook were not yet enough to ruin all europeans governments( and most stupid population scared by war mongering propaganda) . Now they will be asked to give up their savings. But it is no less than worthless paper as all the banks are nearing bankrupcy and ” savings” have disappeared together with banking assets already in 2008 with the subprimes crisis. So the banks are washed out. We only need a bankrun to discover that “the king is naked”
      What a mess !!
      .
      Buy gold and/or silver and burry it somewhere out of their reach !!

      • The PRIMARY reason Europe has no industry (and therefore no money) is because of stupid, falsely derived, climate change energy restrictions. President Donald Trump, when last he was in power, warned Europe that the U.S. taxpayer support was going to be severely truncated after 80 continuous years. Witness the 50,000 US Military personnel stationed in Germany since WW2. (To say nothing of the 30,000 in each of Japan and South Korea). Europe has had more than adequate warning but are, only now, scrambling to fill the hole.

      • What you wrote is possibly the very best description on how Russia has stood against the globalists. That the west nations fight for pure and good. Well lets take a look at that.

        Pure and good is not poisoning citizens food.
        Pure and good is not poisoning our water supply.
        Pure and good is not funding a war where millions, maybe billions of people die.
        Pure and good is not blue lasering Hawaii and Los Angeles. Emptying reservoirs.
        Pure and good is not injecting poison into people and ignoring blood clots.
        Pure and good is not allowing hooligans into UK and Europe to cause rape and murder.
        Pure and good is not ignoring the peoples protests, calling it hurty words and locking them up.
        Pure and good is not the destruction of our farmers and food supply.
        Pure and good is not spreading chemicals into the air.
        Pure and good is not creating an unworkable economy.
        Pure and good is not genetic engineering.
        Pure and good is not ignoring or even meeting protesters.
        Pure and good is not assaulting protesters and children while they sleep.
        Pure and good is not an unelected world economic forum that ignores the people.
        Pure and good is not a corrupt Vatican.

        Finally, we were told a false saviour would arise to save us. That he is not here to save the world. That he is to destroy it and you.

  1. This will always be the outcome of negotiations with Jews, they always position themselves a in positions to profit, they are the perennial man-in-the-middle profiteer. This is exactly how Israel operates, the perennial victim that needs help out of situations that they create.
    Its time to sideline both of them an offer them terms they can not accept but must or lose everything, Goying 101.

    • Larry Fink has been spreading his tentacles over most of Europe. Giving loans to endebted governments. And you know the saying about who calls the shots then.

      And to add to it , most of european MSM are now in ( covert) jewish hands free to make propaganda as to influence opinion.

      Only internet can be a limited source of information, and there also you have to be mindfull on how you express yourself, the censure being unforgiving
