PM Orbán’s ‘secret’ agreement with the EU can save Ukraine
According to Newsweek, PM Viktor Orbán is Russian President Putin’s ally. What’s more, he made a secret agreement with the European Union, enabling the EU 26 to help Kyiv with a more than EUR 50 billion aid package. Furthermore, it came to light why Ukraine did not allow former president Poroshenko to come to Hungary and allegedly meet Orbán.
As we wrote earlier, PM Orbán left the room during an EU summit about Ukraine’s EU accession. As a result, the leaders of the member states could accept a resolution about starting the accession process. Of course, that does not mean Ukraine will become a member state this year or the next. Instead of a meaningful support, it is a gesture. However, Orbán vetoed the modification of the EU budget, which means Brussels will not be able to help Kyiv with EUR billions.
In that case, however, it seems standpoints have changed. Newsweek wrote that Orbán made a secret pact with the EU that the other 26 bloc members may transfer the money to Ukraine. But Hungary will be exempted. He suggested the EU to strike a separate deal among the 26 bloc members.
New deal and separate agreement
Newsweek highlighted that Orbán was ally of Putin in Europe. Furthermore, instead of delivering weapons and providing help and money for Ukraine, he promoted ceasefire and peace talks, which they suggest was a treasonous standpoint concerning the North-Atlantic alliance.
“If you send weapons, if you finance the entire annual budget of one of the belligerents, if you promise more and more weapons, more and more modern weapons, then you can say whatever you want. No matter what you say, you are in the war,” he said.
“It’s possible for the 26 member states to provide the money on a bilateral basis,” Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said. “A bit of time and space over the Christmas period might help.”
Dutch PM Mark Rutte seemed confident about an agreement in 2024 about the issue.
The Orbán government transferred EUR 900 thousand to Zelenskyy’s Ukrainian rival
As we wrote before, former Ukrainian President, and one of Zelenskyy’s rivals, Petro Poroshenko, planned to travel to Hungary earlier this December. However, he was not allowed to cross the border. According to the Ukrainian Secret Service, they wanted to prevent a Porosenko-Orbán meeting.
According to index.hu, Poroshenko’s party, the European Solidarity, received almost EUR 900 thousand (HUF 343 million) before the alleged meeting with the Hungarian government. The money arrived a week before Poroshenko’s journey.
Poroshenko’s party confirmed the money transfer but said that it was not only Hungary who gave money to them. An independent team would decide about the sum’s investment.

That is interesting. Our Politicians claim foreign funding of political parties puts “national sovereignty” at risk, to the point that they enacted a law to put a stop to this:

Inbound – issue. Outbound – different?
POSSIBLE – the “Ego” displayed by Orban, the manipulated propaganda that originates out of his office, the Government he leads, it may just be so, that the European Union are playing Orban “on a break.”
Orban disgustingly refers to Ukraine which is defending itself from invasion as a “belligerent.” The only “belligerent” in this war is Russia and yes Orban the word that applies to this conflict is “war.” Fidesz is treasonous as regards to its’ relationship with the EU and NATO. It would be best if Hungary left both organizations and the sooner the better. Where I am in Canada popular opinion is quite negative towards Hungary. If this keeps up much longer it may get to the point that to avoid a negative response Hungarians may be better off not to disclose where they are from when they travel in the EU or North America.
Larry – Concur.
The travel of Hungarians, what a despicable insult in probability to endure, through the picture, we know fact, the creation of Victor Orban and his Government, the Political party he leads Fidesz, the GLOBAL image, in the Democratic world they HAVE established of Hungary to-day.
Millions of Hungarians, by what is wrongful treatment have to endure the “Wrath” of other human beings, in probability, as they travel, either in-side Europe or Globally.
The universal knowledge that Hungary no longer are a DEMOCRACY, that deepens daily.
Orbans to frequent interviews, what he “throws” out of his mouth, the pontification in style and presentation of his Political Ideas and Philosophy – his Dogma, media globally in the Democratic world, continue to rightfully SMASH him, build on humiliating his name, having no RESPECT for what he talks.
Hungarians continue to expose there nievity to factually open there eyes and see what is occuring around them.
In there subconscience, which has MERIT, is the fact, by what-ever means or process Victor Orban is OUTED – removed as Prime Minister of Hungary, the major concern for them, who is there pick-up and endeavour what Victor Orban and his Government are going to leave.
The answer is not in the “deposed” voted out of office former Prime Minister, who, through his own personal Political CV would be in-capable to STABILIZE Hungary, and FACT “zooming in” on younger generations of Hungarians – his APPEAL or attraction to them a total NEGATIVE.
These, are they WILL worsen the shambles, the disarray, the complete from a Political & Economic perspective, the functionality that is Hungary at this point in time – Unacceptable.
Hungary, to a quote of the late American President John Fitzgerald. Kennedy might do well to THINK about.
He said;
” Change is the Law of Life.
And those who only look at the past or present,
Are certain to miss the Future.”
Shambled times sadly we live in Hungary.
Larry,Canada invited a former member of the Ukrainian Waffen SS in their parlement! Everyone was euphoric,president Zelensky most of all!? Left-wing globalist Trudeau’s mask fell off!
At this point I am cautious to leave Hungary with my Hungarian plates on my car! And now I find out that my tax dollars are supporting an opposition candidate in Ukraine! All this while our teachers starve and our hospitals crumble. How much does it take to get this government out of power?
Info from Newsweek is as reliable as from CNN. Their biss is palpable.😎
Ghost of 1956 – agree.
And it’s across the board WORSENING.
