Hungary has blocked €50bn ($55bn; £43bn) in EU aid for Ukraine hours after agreement was reached on starting membership talks.

“Summary of the nightshift: veto for the extra money to Ukraine,” Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted on social media after talks in Brussels.

EU leaders said talks on aid for Ukraine would resume early next year.

Ukraine is critically dependant on EU and US funding as it continues to fight occupying Russian forces.

    Such a stupid system. How is Ukraine unsuitable for EU and NATO membership until it passes some reforms and Hungary is a part of EU and NATO while actively sabotaging and hating on both?

      The EU is not an alliance, so not being an ally is a moot point.

        Sadly, Slovakia has a very Orban-like government now so sadly now it could be us who start shielding Hungary in EU.

    Well, someone will be more than happy at least and the rest will have to just cope with it. Wars are like this, if you are not strong enough and don’t chose wisely your allies. I hope the EU will welcome humanitarian refugees and receive them properly, especially neighbouring countries (like Hungary).
