The EU once again pulled off a big mess, Orbán: You were given an opportunity, but you just couldn't handle it.

October 24th news, the leaders' summit held in Brussels ended in failure.

Originally, they planned to use frozen Russian assets to provide Ukraine with a 140 billion euro loan, but this was vetoed by the Prime Minister of Belgium, De Vriese.

At the end of the meeting, there wasn't even a decent statement. von der Leyen and the President of the European Council, Costa, gave a awkward explanation at a late-night press conference, repeatedly emphasizing that it was not a failure, but no one could clarify when they could reach an agreement again.

Diplomats privately complained that this was a complete mess, while French President Macron, UK Prime Minister Starmer, and Ukrainian President Zelenskyy are preparing to hold another small alliance meeting to save the situation.

The whole meeting was nothing but empty talk and statements on sanctions, with no substantial results.

This farce has exposed the false unity of the EU to the fullest, where everyone publicly claims support for Ukraine, but when it comes to taking real risks, no one is willing to take responsibility.

This so-called loan requires the seizure of frozen Russian funds as collateral, and this money is frozen in Belgium, which is why Belgium firmly opposed it.

More ironically, just as US President Trump announced sanctions against a Russian oil giant, the EU officials were still praising the cooperation between Europe and the US in the morning, but were overturned by their own people in the evening.

This time, Orbán's actions can be described as hitting the heart, in the past he was always criticized as a bad person who disrupted European unity because of his pro-Russia stance.

But this time, Orbán did not stop the EU from seizing Russian sovereign assets as he had done before to block anti-Russian sanctions, but you were given an opportunity, and you really aren't capable.
