"EU Leaders Confront Hungary's Resistance to Economic Aid for Ukraine"

The 27 European Union countries have agreed to provide Ukraine with a new 50-billion-euro ($54 billion) support package for its war-ravaged economy, despite threats from Hungary to veto the move. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban had previously objected to the financial aid package and blocked its adoption, but ultimately lifted the veto. The EU's decision to provide long-term funding for Ukraine and make it a candidate for EU membership has been met with criticism and accusations of political games from fellow EU leaders, who have expressed concern about waning public support for Ukraine and the potential security implications of a Russian victory.
