Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán last week blocked some $54 billion in proposed funding for Kyiv.

EU nations may proceed without Hungary by establishing a new fund outside of the common EU budget that does not require Budapest’s signoff.

    Thank you for your detailed thoughts. Although I have not read the upcoming continuation, let me respond.

    IMHO, the situation is urgent, as the alliance of Orban with Putin threatens the very existence of the EU. The imminent external threat will force Europeans to act in concert and find balanced and effective solutions to this and similar impasses. The EU can’t develop further with any member able to blackmail it.

    So I believe in the wisdom of Europeans and their ability to learn and grow. Due to an exceptional external threat, the force major will be substantiated and will only enhance the cooperation between the member states.
