A large number of EU resolutions on Ukraine are being blocked by Hungary, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

Hungary is digging in and refusing to wave through billions in military aid for Ukraine, prompting growing dismay among other EU countries.

"I have to calm myself [when] I talk about this issue, because it’s getting really ridiculous now,” a senior EU diplomat said of the standoff with Hungary, speaking before Monday’s meeting of EU foreign ministers. “What’s happening is outrageous.”

Diplomats had hoped to have a new €6.6 billion package ready ahead of this week’s meetings of foreign and defense ministers in Brussels. The deal included €860 million for arms procurement, reported by POLITICO last week.

    I’m not gonna look towards the guy who spent most of his career massacring indigenous people to figure out who deserves what.

    zero NATO casualties, half million Russian killed

    As thrilled as you are to fight Putin to the very last drop of Ukrainian blood, you have to understand this is sociopathic right?

    so until someone pops him there won’t be peace

    It’s unlikely that would affect the Russian war effort. I’m no expert in Russian politics, but I do cursory research and I’m not aware of any person or party waiting in the wings to take power that would support unilateral withdrawal from the lands its held for like 2 years.

      Why is it sociopathic to want Ukrainians to be free instead of being tortured and abused daily for the next several decades?

      I don’t think you actually believe Ukrainians will be safe if they stop resisting. You should know, because if the majority of Ukrainians actually would prefer Russian rule they’d just stop fighting and no amount of weapons sent to them would keep the war going.

      And yet, they chose to resist.

        When you do the math of “Half a million dead Russians, and it didn’t cost us a single life”, you betray that Ukrainian lives literally do not matter to you and that you consider dead Russians a good thing.

        if the majority of Ukrainians actually would prefer Russian rule they’d just stop fighting

        That would require the Ukrainian government represents the interests of the majority of people in Ukraine. There’s only a handful of governments whose actions are consistently in the interest of and supported by its people. None of them are in eastern Europe.
