The European Commission cannot confirm reports that Hungary unblocked €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility intended for military support to Ukraine.

Source: Anitta Hipper, lead spokesperson for EU Foreign Affairs and Security Policy on 4 June, as reported by European Pravda

Quote: "I cannot confirm this for the moment, because when it comes to the European Peace Facility we have many discussions. These are currently ongoing. And the exact use of the blocked funds is still being discussed with the member states."

Details: Hipper stressed that "despite the blockage as such, member states have continued to deliver the military support to Ukraine, and the High Representative [for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Kaja Kallas] has been in regular touch with the member states to encourage them to increase the ammunition and the support towards Ukraine".
