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

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.

    Not really. Being open minded doesn’t mean you give equal credence to nut jobs, conspiracy theorists, racists, etc.

    I wouldn’t listen to a Nazis opinions on Jews.

    I wouldn’t listen to a zionists opinion on Palestine.

    And I don’t listen to a tankies opinion on Ukraine.

      That’s not at all what I meant.

      I’m an ml user - just because it seemed okay to me when I first started with Lemmy - and now I learn it’s got a rep for being for tankies etc

      If you look through my comment history you’ll see I’m probably just some lefty twit from Europe.

      I by no means meant you should tolerate the scum that promote Putin or Pooh Bear’s agenda.

      Just don’t assume everyone on .ml is a cunt. Be more open minded and less label driven.

        If you don’t want people to lump you in with the tankies, you can simply not associate yourself with said tankies.

        Just like I’m going to assume anyone on truth social is a right wing chritsofascist. There might be a dide on there that’s sane and alright, but I don’t care.
