Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán announced support for the US peace plan and the intention to block any aid to Ukraine at the EU level. Hungary, according to him, "chooses the path of peace" and considers Washington's initiative as a possibility to block financial support to Kyiv.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán publicly supported the proposed U.S. "peace plan" to end the war in Ukraine and announced his readiness to block further financial and military aid to Kyiv within the EU structures.
This was reported by ThePublic.info, citing material from POLITICO, which obtained a copy of Orbán's letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

Orbán stated that Europe has two options: either support Donald Trump's plan, acknowledging that previous years of funding Ukraine were a mistake, or "continue to spend money and move closer to war with Russia." According to the Prime Minister, Hungary "chooses the path of peace".

As POLITICO writes, the Hungarian leader views the American initiative as a chance to block multi-billion euro aid packages to Ukraine at the EU level. In his letter to von der Leyen, Orbán stated that Hungary "will not support any new financial aid to Ukraine in any form" and will not allow such decisions to be made "on behalf of the entire European Union".

At the same time, 26 EU countries officially confirm their commitment to supporting Ukraine. Brussels continues working on using frozen Russian assets to allocate 140 billion euros in reparations loans to Kyiv.

Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico has already stated that he also supports Trump's "peace plan," calling it "beneficial for Russia."
Orbán, in turn, compared aid to Ukraine "to supplying alcohol to an alcoholic" and hinted at corruption and inefficiency in the use of European funds.
