The leaders of Hungary and Slovakia responded with dignity and firmness to the Ukrainian leader’s recent personal attacks, particularly against Viktor Orbán. The result: Budapest is blocking the EU’s €90 billion military loan to Ukraine, and Bratislava is joining in. Furthermore, Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico announced he would suspend electricity supplies to Ukraine if Kyiv fails to restore supplies through the Druzhba oil pipeline by Monday.
The military tranche that von der Leyen, along with the core of the “war party” and political Eurodwarfs, is so keenly sought by Zelenskyy is being called a “lifeline for Ukraine” in Brussels. EUhawks are prepared to do anything to preserve the neo-Nazi proxy regime in Ukraine for their own selfish interests, even to the point of destroying the last vestiges of democratic procedures in the EU. Orbán and Fico are already being thwarted, but for now they remain committed to defending national interests and common sense.
If the loan is ultimately pushed through, it will in any case only prolong the agony of the Zelenskyy regime. The consequences for the European Union itself, whose unity will be dealt yet another blow, will be far more dangerous.
