EU UKRAINE AID APPROVED!

Victor Orban, pressed hard to stop it but it was made clear to him that if he continued to blackmail the EU to get his way over issues, ‘other means’ would be implemented to change his mind. It’s largely accepted though nobody wants to admit it (and Orban certainly won’t or would make him look weak), that financial and economic measures would be used to undermine the Hungarian Florint currency and cause economic hardship for the Hungarian government if they continued down this path.
Orban said he couldn’t be blackmailed but they gave him a face saver - the right of any nation to revue the budget every four years - which pretty much happens anyway.
The deal includes €50 billion ($55b, £43b) spread over four years , that will support Ukrainian institutions and government expenditure.
