Sources say that they decided to unfreeze the project, among other things, in the hope of increasing NATO's budget in the future and Hungary's support for Ukraine.
The European Commission has decided to unfreeze the project on assistance to Hungary in the amount of 13 billion euros. This was reported by The Financial Times, citing sources among EC officials.
The sources said that the Commission decided to unfreeze the project, among other things, hoping for an increase in NATO's budget in the future and Hungary's support for Ukraine. The allocated funds will be unfrozen by the end of this fall.
Hungary has repeatedly opposed the financing of Ukraine. In particular, the head of the Hungarian Prime Minister's Office, Gergay Guillas, said earlier that Hungary would not support EU financing of Ukraine until Hungary was given its money.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban himself expressed doubts about the need for Ukraine to join the EU.
