EU chiefs assure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy they have the tools to unblock the funds.
The EU will deliver on its promise to give Ukraine a much-needed €90 billion loan, despite Hungary attempting to derail the effort at the last minute, top officials said on Tuesday.
Speaking in Kyiv with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council chief António Costa both insisted that the loan would go ahead soon.
“We will deliver on our word one way or the other,” von der Leyen told reporters. “Let me be clear. We have different options and we will use them.”
I mean… you can’t kick them out… but you can make remaining in the union while maintaining such obstinacy so onerous and unbearable that they themselves invoke A50. This would of course be a tactic to use if Orban somehow manages to maintain his grasp on power in the upcoming election. But it should be noted as an option.
