EU leaders pile pressure on Hungary's Orban to lift block on Ukraine loan • FRANCE 24 English

European Union leaders piled pressure on Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban on Thursday to lift his blockade on a vital 90-billion-euro ($103 billion) EU loan to Ukraine to keep ‌up its fight against Russia's invasion. EU leaders agreed to the loan in December but Orban, who has ⁠cordial ties with Russia and has clashed with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, blocked its implementation last month, citing a dispute over a war-damaged pipeline.
