Hungary blocks €50bn of EU funding for Ukraine
Hungary blocks €50bn of EU budget funds for Ukraine hours after agreement is reached on membership talks.
Hungary has blocked €50bn ($55bn; £43bn) in EU aid for Ukraine hours after agreement was reached on starting membership talks.
"Summary of the nightshift: veto for the extra money to Ukraine," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted on social media after talks in Brussels.
EU leaders said talks on aid for Ukraine would resume early next year.
Ukraine is critically dependant on EU and US funding as it continues to fight occupying Russian forces.

Is Poland still protecting Hungary from consequences?
Hopefully not with the new government
Sadly, Slovakia has a very Orban-like government now so sadly now it could be us who start shielding Hungary in EU.
