BUDAPEST, January 27. /TASS/. European countries will never get back the money the European Commission wants to take from them to finance Ukraine, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban wrote, warning that Kiev will not repay its debt to Europeans.
"Brussels will push all of Europe into debt for the sake of financing Ukraine," the Prime Minister wrote on his Facebook page (banned in Russia, owned by the Meta corporation, which is recognized as extremist in Russia).
He recalled that EU leaders intend to provide multibillion-dollar aid to Kiev through a common loan from EU countries. This plan is supported not only by the leadership in Brussels but also by the Hungarian opposition party Tisza.
"They say it's a loan that will be repaid. I say, 'Let Tisza [opposition party] win the elections just as the Ukrainians repay this loan,'" Orban said.
Earlier Orban repeatedly confirmed that his government would not participate in EU funding initiatives for Ukraine. Over the past four years, the EU has spent at least 193 billion euros on support for the country, and now wants to provide it with an interest-free "military loan" of 90 billion euros in 2026-2027.
