Hungary has once again blocked the European Union (EU) from agreeing on 500 million euros ($530 million) in military aid for Ukraine. The aid is being held up as Hungary seeks assurances regarding the removal of its OTP Bank from Kyiv's international sponsors of war. This is not the first time Hungary has hindered the allocation of military support to Ukraine, causing frustration among EU member states. The EU expects Hungary to unblock the aid tranche, but Hungary is demanding a clear rationale before approving additional EU aid to Ukraine. Despite criticism, Hungarian Prime Minister Orban has expressed hope that Hungary's assistance to Ukraine will continue.
