Szijjártó: Ukraine demands additional €155 billion from EU to fund army

Hungary’s Foreign Minister, Péter Szijjártó, said after a meeting of EU foreign ministers—broadcast live by M1—that Ukraine is seeking an additional €155 billion from the EU in 2026 solely to fund its military.

According to Szijjártó, the previously agreed €90 billion credit to Kyiv is insufficient.

“Colleagues made it clear that the €90 billion, previously agreed but now blocked by Hungary, is not enough to meet Ukraine’s financial needs, and a decision will soon be required to direct even greater resources to Ukraine. This was also confirmed by Ukraine’s Foreign Minister, Andrii Sybiha,” Szijjártó said.
