  1. Excerpts:

    *According to Estonian Minister of Foreign Affairs Margus Tsahkna (Eesti 200), Ukraine will receive €50 billion in aid from the EU irrespective of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s move to block the funds.*

    *Tsahkna said that there are different ways of providing the aid promised to Ukraine.*

    *“It has been agreed that we can provide the finances, so that Ukraine actually gets its money. The decision on the big €50 billion fund, I think we will get done by the end of this year or early next year. So, in fact Ukraine will get the money.”*

    *While the €50 billion in aid was blocked by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Friday, he did not veto the decision to open EU accession talks with Ukraine, leaving the room during the vote instead.*

     

    *Orbán has said he could veto Ukraine’s accession talks at any time, with Tsahkna adding that there are around 75 potential opportunities in which to do so throughout the whole process.*

    *“If the limit is finally reached, as Orbán may have feared, a mechanism could be triggered whereby a member state is deprived of its voting rights.*

    *“It exists in theory on paper, however, no one has ever used it. It is very complicated.*

    *“But if a country does not want to be in Europe any more, if it, in some way, undermines the foundations of our security, our very existence, then there is that possibility.”*

  2. Just kick em out, make an European vote in every country ,simple ‘in’ or ‘out’ question and respect the majority. It will be overwhelming OUT.

  4. How though? They keep saying there is a way, but if there is, how come its still blocked?

    EU gonna amend the unanimous vote rule? 2/3 majority rule?

    I always find it weird that democracy is about the majority but somehow EU and NATO must have 100% votes on all matters, that’s not democracy, that’s tyranny of the minority. lol

    Same with any Veto votes, its ANTI democracy. lol

  5. “Said he could veto Ukraine’s accession talks any time”. This is what a child does out of spite. Except this man is causing significantly more harm by acting like it.
