Hungary's Magyar sets condition for Ukraine aid

Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar has stated that his incoming government will lift Hungary's veto on a European Union loan to Ukraine, but only after Russian oil supplies to Hungary are restored. Magyar, leader of the victorious Tisza party, made the statement following his parliamentary election win. The condition directly links EU financial support for Ukraine to Hungary's own energy security needs. This stance continues Budapest's pattern of leveraging its EU position to secure concessions on Russian energy imports.
