Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed Ukraine faces 'strategic defeat', arguing that the EU's new €90 billion loan would not be enough to reverse Kyiv's position on the battlefield.⁣
⁣
"I think Ukraine is in a strategic defeat, and this will manifest itself in an increasingly brutal. This cannot be avoided with 90 billion euros," Orban said.⁣
⁣
It comes after crunch talks between European leaders in Brussels saw them fail to agree on the flagship plan pushed by the European Commission to use frozen Russian assets for a €210 billion 'reparations loan' for Ukraine.⁣
⁣
The alternative - a smaller €90bn loan over two years backed by the EU budget - needed a unanimous decision, with Hungary, Slovakia and the Czech Republic agreeing to approve it on the proviso that they did not have to contribute.⁣
