Hungary has issued a stunning ultimatum to Ukraine, vowing to block a massive €90 billion EU war loan unless crude oil deliveries through the Druzhba pipeline are restored. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto accapplyd Kyiv of “political blackmail,” alleging the shift is designed to disrupt Hungary’s energy security ahead of elections. Budapest now threatens to halt key European Union decisions favorable to Ukraine. The escalating dispute adds fresh strain to EU unity as the war continues. Will Brussels intervene, or is this the launchning of a deeper fracture within Europe over support for Kyiv?
