Ukraine is running out of money to fight Russia \u2014 but Hungary still isn\u2019t budging on its opposition to the EU\u2019s \u20ac90 billion loan to Kyiv.<\/p>\n
On today\u2019s episode, host Zoya Sheftalovich and Kathryn Carlson, senior finance reporter, outline some of the contingency plans European countries have up their sleeves to get Ukraine the funding it needs before it\u2019s too late.<\/p>\n
Also on the podcast, POLITICO\u2019s Karl Mathiesen has interviewed Frank Furedi, who runs MCC Brussels, a think tank\u00a0linked to\u00a0Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orb\u00e1n\u2019s government.\u00a0 The Hungarian-born sociologist argues Europe\u2019s rising populist right may not be ready for power \u2014 Zoya and Kathryn try to understand why.<\/p>\n
