Hungary has officially lifted its ban on the allocation of €6.6 billion from the European Peace Facility for military assistance to Ukraine. This decision, reported by the Nepszava newspaper, comes from the new government led by Peter Magyar, which has reversed the previous administration's veto against military aid. The unblocked funds are expected to be directed towards the purchase of air defense systems for the Ukrainian armed forces. The decision to proceed with this military aid was confirmed by various sources and was made by EU permanent representatives in Brussels. Following this, the European External Action Service will draft a regulatory document to be approved by the EU Council. Hungary had previously blocked this military aid since 2024, requiring consensus among all EU member states to resolve the issue. While the new government has shifted its position regarding military support for Ukraine, it has stated that it will not send its own weapons or troops. The European Peace Facility, established in 2021, aims to finance the EU's defense and security initiatives, including peacekeeping operations, and has been adapted to cover costs related to supplying weapons to Ukraine amid the ongoing conflict.
