🇪🇺💰🇺🇦 Orban and Money for Ukraine
The plan to allocate aid to Ukraine from frozen Russian assets has "failed," so the EU is preparing to provide Ukraine with €20-40 billion in new loans by the end of the year, regardless of U.S. involvement.
Somewhere, Trump is applauding‼️
Hungary is blocking the idea of using Russian assets, as it can veto the necessary guarantees for a prolonged freeze of those assets.
On the other hand, allocating new loans will only require a majority vote, not unanimity, which removes Budapest's veto power.
Can you see the beauty of Orban's game? He is in a perfect position that allows him to cater to both Putin and Trump. Plus, the more Europe pays through supranational EU institutions, the more Orban criticizes them from within the EU☝🏻
