"EU's $54 Billion Aid Deal for Ukraine Signals Unity Despite Orban's Resistance"

TL;DR Summary
The European Union (EU) overcame Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's veto and swiftly agreed on a €50 billion aid package for Ukraine to support its economy through 2027, separate from military aid. Orban's frequent use of vetoes and close ties with Russia has frustrated EU leaders, with Poland's Prime Minister expressing "Orban fatigue." Despite Orban claiming victory, pressure and tough negotiations led to the agreement, while Ukrainian President Zelenskyy welcomed the decision and emphasized the importance of EU unity in sending a signal to the international community.
