Szijjártó allowed it seven times, blocked it for 3.5 years, now EU members were paid again after military aid was sent to Ukraine.

The EU Council approved a €4.7 billion payment from the European Peace Facility for military aid to Ukraine. Hungary previously blocked similar payments but has now allowed this funding. The Hungarian government has stated it does not supply weapons to Ukraine but will not obstruct others from doing so. The decision follows a history of Hungary's conditional support for military aid, with previous instances of constructive abstention. The funding will also support a training mission for Ukraine, with additional commitments expected next year.
