【Orbán comments on the EU's 90 billion loan to Ukraine: the continuation of the war has been tied to economic interests】
On December 20, 2025, in Budapest time, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán wrote on the social media platform "X":
This is the first time in EU history that 24 member states have jointly provided military loans to a non-EU country. This is not a technical detail, but a qualitative shift. The logic of the loan is clear: those who borrow money want to get their money back.
Therefore, from now on, this is no longer just a matter of political or moral decisions, but a strict financial constraint that pushes Europe in a certain direction: towards war. Therefore, the EU's military logic has been strengthened. It has not slowed down or weakened, but has been institutionalized. Today, the risks are higher than ever before, because the continuation of the war has been tied to economic interests.
