A large number of EU resolutions on Ukraine are being blocked by Hungary, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

Hungary is digging in and refusing to wave through billions in military aid for Ukraine, prompting growing dismay among other EU countries.

"I have to calm myself [when] I talk about this issue, because it’s getting really ridiculous now,” a senior EU diplomat said of the standoff with Hungary, speaking before Monday’s meeting of EU foreign ministers. “What’s happening is outrageous.”

Diplomats had hoped to have a new €6.6 billion package ready ahead of this week’s meetings of foreign and defense ministers in Brussels. The deal included €860 million for arms procurement, reported by POLITICO last week.

    We’re getting a decades long insurgency whether Russia or Ukraine controls the region. There was an insurgency before the war, and there’s sure as hell gonna be one now. Ending the war is the only way we can slow the rate things are getting worse for the people there.

    As far as which insurgents, that’s much more complicated, you can’t just say all insurgent factions are good or bad.
