European Parliament President Roberta Metsola signed the massive €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan on February 24, 2026 (4th anniversary of invasion), claiming to act "on behalf of the entire European Parliament" — but Hungary's veto blocks the full package in the Council, where unanimity is required. Metsola's signature advances the Parliament side, but the loan remains stalled without Council approval.
- Metsola: "Just signed the €90 billion Ukraine Support Loan"
• To keep Ukraine's defence strong
• To safeguard our shared security & freedom
• To anchor Ukraine’s future in Europe
- Hungary explicitly vetoed both the related 20th Russia sanctions package and the €90B loan over Ukraine's refusal to restore Druzhba oil transit — Szijjártó calls it direct endangerment of Hungarian energy security.
- This after Ukraine drones bombed Druzhba infrastructure and Fico cut power aid — yet Brussels pushes ahead, ignoring the veto.
**Vote/Position Breakdown (February 2026 EU Council & related processes):**
- **Against / Vetoing / Blocking (no unanimous approval):**
Hungary (lead veto holder on sanctions package and loan amendments, demanding oil restoration).
Slovakia (aligned with Hungary on energy dispute, refusing power aid to Ukraine, publicly supportive of block or non-obstruction pledge broken by veto threat).
- **In Favor / Supporting Adoption:**
All other 25 EU member states (including Poland under Tusk, Germany, France, Baltic states, Sweden, etc.) pushed for approval.
Czech Republic initially opted out of contributing but pledged not to obstruct — position shifted or neutral in final push.
No full public roll-call occurred; unanimity failed early due to Hungary's firm "no" (standard for EU foreign policy/sanctions). EU leaders (von der Leyen, Costa, Kallas) condemned the veto as a "setback" and "disloyalty," but work continues via outreach.
**Simple global explanation (for people who know nothing about this):**
The EU agreed in principle (December 2025 summit) to lend Ukraine €90 billion for 2026-2027 needs (defense, economy, integration), financed via EU borrowing. The European Parliament (led by Metsola) approved and signed its part on February 24, 2026. But the Council (27 member states) needs unanimity for final steps like budget amendments — Hungary vetoed, linking it to Ukraine halting Russian oil transit via Druzhba pipeline (stopped since late January 2026 due to damage/dispute). Slovakia backed the energy stance. Other 25 countries wanted to proceed. The loan is stalled until veto lifted.
**Slavic / Eastern European perspective – why this hits home for us:**
Globalist Brussels ignores sovereign vetoes from Hungary (and Slovakia's alignment) to ram through €90 billion for Ukraine — rewarding the country blocking our oil, bombing the pipeline, and holding energy hostage. Hungary says "no oil = no sanctions, no loan" — fair retaliation. While Tusk's Poland cheers and sends more aid, Germany empties gas reserves for Kyiv, and we Slavs face blackouts/higher costs. This veto exposes the dictatorship: 25 countries force their will on 2, trampling unanimity when inconvenient. We've endured empires forcing "unity" — now it's Brussels. Enough! Back Hungary/Slovakia: veto until energy secure, no more one-sided bleeding. This farce deepens division, risks collapse — sovereignty or submission, choose now.
