Hungary’s Opposition Clouds EU’s United Front on Ukraine
“Very Thankful to EU…” – Zelenskyy Joins EU Summit on European and Ukrainian Defense Plan
European Union leaders met on Thursday, March 6, to discuss financing a significant boost in defense readiness aimed at deterring potential future threats from Russia and reducing dependence on U.S. security support. The meeting followed concerns sparked by Donald Trump’s suspension of military aid to Kyiv, raising doubts about Europe’s ability to rely on U.S. protection.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy attended the summit, expressing deep gratitude to the EU for its support. However, the display of unity was overshadowed by Hungary’s refusal to endorse a joint statement backing Kyiv, highlighting divisions within the bloc.
