Hungary opposes providing additional aid to Ukraine from EU budget

Budapest, Sep 29 (Prensa Latina) Hungary opposes providing additional financial aid to Ukraine from the European Union (EU) if the bloc will have to grant or accept loans for it, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday.

Orban stated on a national radio station that the EU feels the lack of funds but still proposes to increase financial aid to Ukraine.

The head of Government noted that all the community’s countries will have to give more to receive less.

He expressed doubts that European countries could pay back the money the EU plans to give Ukraine in loans.

Not even our grandchildren will see it, Orban said, after recalling that the EU owes Hungary three million euros.

Gergely Gulyas, Minister of the Prime Minister’s Office, told reporters on Thursday that Hungary would not support amendments to the EU budget to provide additional financial aid to Ukraine if the bloc does not pay Budapest the money it owes.
