Viktor Orban, the Prime Minister of Hungary, reacted vehemently to the letter received from Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, which requests member states to contribute additional funding for Ukraine in the context of the war with Russia. Orban described the request as "stunning," emphasizing that instead of asking for oversight of the funds, an increase in aid is proposed, comparing the situation to helping an alcoholic by offering vodka. He mentioned that Hungary will not participate in this initiative, highlighting concerns regarding the management of European taxpayers' money. Ursula von der Leyen requested a plan of 135.7 billion euros to cover Ukraine's needs over the next two years, stressing the importance of a swift commitment from European leaders to avoid stagnation.
