EU unlocks Hungary’s frozen funds as Kyiv’s EU path stays murky
TL;DR Summary
The EU will release 16.4 billion euros of frozen funds to Hungary (10 billion now, 6.4 billion later) after talks in Brussels between PM Peter Magyar and EC President Ursula von der Leyen. Officials say the unfreezing is not linked to Ukraine’s accession, which is expected to proceed around mid-June if Hungary lifts its veto. Negotiations over Hungary’s minority rights in Ukraine continue (nine of eleven demands reportedly met), with Zelensky’s meeting on hold until a settlement is reached, and the process framed as merit-based by the EU.
