Orbán: At least 20% of Hungarians’ money would be given to Ukraine in EU budget

Commenting on the EU’s post-2027 budget draft, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said that at least 20 percent of Europeans’ money and therefore 20 percent of Hungarians’ money would be given to Ukraine.

PM Orbán said in an interview with public radio that several independent expert groups have identified and added up “hidden items in the budget categorised under the European Commission’s individual decisions”, and found that 20 percent, or possibly even 25 percent of the budget could be transferred to Ukraine.

“I can confidently say, not based on my own knowledge, but based on the knowledge of experts, that at least 20 percent of this budget is targeted at Ukraine,” PM Orbán said.
