EU to use COVID-19 mechanism to bypass Orbán's veto and provide Ukraine with €20 billion (english.nv.ua)

The European Union is preparing an alternative plan to provide Ukraine with EUR 20 billion (22.09 billion USD) in financial support to circumvent the veto of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, reported the Financial Times.

The proposed mechanism could be used if Orbán's veto cannot be overcome at the planned summit on Feb. 1., said the report.

. . .

The approach is like the EC’s COVID-19 response, when 100 billion EUR was provided to EU countries in 2020.

This option does not require guarantees from all 27 EU member states, allowing the inclusion of countries with the highest credit ratings as principal participants.

Good. With Poland on the way out, who's protecting him again? Austria? Eventually they're going to have to attack Hungary head-on, one way or the other.

The problem is that Poland has not had a new government until a few weeks ago. With a PiS government that was not possible. The other problem is that it takes time. Ukraine does not have that and this is faster then dealing with Hungary right now.

Probably going to happen though, but Slovakia might block it.
