JAKARTA - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban urged the European Union to stop funding for Ukraine.

"That's the amount of money that the head of the Brussel bureaucracy (European Commission) (Ursula) von der Leyen wants to collect for Ukraine. This is a price that must be paid to prolong the war. The president has one problem: he doesn't have this money," Orban wrote ahead of a meeting of the EU Foreign Affairs Council. , Thursday, November 20.

Due to their own lack of funds, the European Commission called Orban submitted three proposals, namely member countries must contribute to their own budget, use joint loans, or confiscate frozen Russian assets.

Hungarian PM commented on the latter option: "An easy solution, but the consequences are unpredictable."

However, Orban argues, plans to use Russia's paralyzed assets will trigger "long legal debates, floods of lawsuits, and collapse of euros."

"This is what awaits us if we choose this path. So, let's choose common sense. Let's stop the impossible war funding to win, together with the corrupt Ukrainian war mafia, and focus our strength on building peace. It's time to turn around from this Brussel dead end," he concluded.
