Hungary Defies EU As Orban Warns Against 25% Ukraine Spending Push, Cites 'Putin's Fear' Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban sharply criticised the EU’s financial strategy on Ukraine, warning that Brussels is preparing to divert up to a quarter of its next seven-year budget towards sustaining Kyiv’s large wartime military structure. Speaking in Budapest, Orban argued that Hungary will not adopt what he called a “Brussels-driven wartime economy,” insisting the country will instead follow an independent, nationally focused economic policy. He emphasized that Hungary has the capacity to pursue its own economic path while distancing itself from EU plans that he believes place excessive financial strain on member states.#Orban #Hungary #EU #UkraineFunding #Brussels #EUPolitics #EconomicPolic
