EU Leaders Unite on Defence, Hungary Rejects Ukraine Support

News summary

During a recent EU summit in Brussels, 26 member states reached a consensus to support Ukraine and enhance European defense capabilities, while Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orbán opted out of endorsing the joint statement. The summit, convened in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and recent US-Russia discussions, resulted in a five-point initiative aimed at increasing military aid and defense spending for the EU. Despite Orbán's veto against the declaration, which he justified due to 'strategic differences' regarding Ukraine, EU leaders emphasized the necessity of a united front to bolster security and aid for Kyiv. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky participated in the summit, advocating for a ceasefire and stressing the importance of EU support in achieving a lasting peace. The summit highlighted the EU's commitment to strengthening its defense readiness while isolating Hungary's position within the bloc. Critics of increased military spending, including Malta's Prime Minister Robert Abela, voiced concerns that such measures may not lead to a peaceful resolution in Ukraine.
