The European Union is planning to revise its military support system for Ukraine due to Hungary’s veto, which is aligned with its pro-Russian stance, reports RMF24.

According to the newspaper, EU ambassadors are expected to reach a political agreement on Wednesday regarding the provision of €50 billion in aid to Ukraine, sourced from the frozen assets of the Russian Federation. The draft decision suggests that most of the funds will be allocated to programs financed through the EU budget, with only 5% directed toward the European Peace Facility, a fund that has occasionally been used to finance arms for Ukraine.

This adjustment is designed to bypass Hungary's veto, as the decision will no longer require unanimous approval from all EU member states.
