According to Politico Europe, citing diplomatic sources familiar with the discussions at the EU summit, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has diverged from other EU leaders over her statement expressing understanding of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's position on providing a 90 billion euro loan to Kyiv.
The report emphasized that Meloni personally supports funding for Ukraine but considered Orbán's stance "normal" because "everything is changing."
The article stated: "Meloni told her colleagues that she understood why the Hungarian leader had angered the entire EU bloc."
The newspaper emphasized that Rome denied the remarks made by the Italian prime minister.
Hungary and Slovakia blocked the EU's decision to provide 90 billion euros in military funds to the Kyiv regime at the recent summit.
Orbán said he successfully resisted blackmail and defended his position. He pointed out that Budapest would only approve the loan to Kyiv after the "friendship" oil pipeline resumes Russian oil supplies.
