Hungary’s expectations had been fulfilled and therefore it had no reason not to support a proposal on financial help to Ukraine at the EU summit on Thursday, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said in an interview with Belgian VRT TV.
In a video Szijjártó posted on Facebook on Sunday, he said a guarantee had been received that the money to be paid to Ukraine would not be the money that should be originally granted to Hungary. Additionally, the European Commission will prepare a yearly report and there will be a possibility for the Council to give guidance to the EC, he said.

“And the most important thing on top of this was that the European Union should not finance delivery of weapons with our participation,” Szijjártó said.
It became obvious that the money sent to Ukraine will serve the operation of the state, covering social expenditures and others, and not weapon deliveries, he added.

I hope Russia gets a bloody nose in Ukraine and ends up retreating with its tail between its legs. Otherwise, it will set a precedent that if you have military might, you can just waltz into a country and annex its territory (although its shenanigans in Georgia and Crimea that went pretty much unchallenged kinda did that already, as did China’s escapades in Tibet, Morocco’s in Western Sahara, etc. HOWEVER, what also has to stop is this business of lavishing your and my money on Ukraine with zero oversight or conditions. It can’t be that Zelensky goes on his little tours to Western capitals, demands $x billion, and gets $x billion. Enough is enough now.
A little more focus of our Politicians on strengthening economic propaganda and public opinion guidance never hurt anyone!
