Hungary's Stance on Ukraine Aid Puts EU in a Bind

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is reportedly edging closer to accepting a compromise to allow EU funding to Ukraine, following his previous block on a €50 billion funding package. Negotiations are ongoing on potential concessions for Hungary, with the EU confident that a deal can be reached in the next couple of weeks. There is a belief in Brussels that Orbán may have run out of leverage in holding the EU hostage, and any final compromise is likely to include concessions to Hungary to allow Orbán to claim victory at home.
