A large number of EU resolutions on Ukraine are being blocked by Hungary, said Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis.

Hungary is digging in and refusing to wave through billions in military aid for Ukraine, prompting growing dismay among other EU countries.

"I have to calm myself [when] I talk about this issue, because it’s getting really ridiculous now,” a senior EU diplomat said of the standoff with Hungary, speaking before Monday’s meeting of EU foreign ministers. “What’s happening is outrageous.”

Diplomats had hoped to have a new €6.6 billion package ready ahead of this week’s meetings of foreign and defense ministers in Brussels. The deal included €860 million for arms procurement, reported by POLITICO last week.

      The victims are the people. Every day this war goes on means more victims. The only reason I examine Russia’s reasoning is to predict future behavior, moral judgements on Russia or Putin’s character have nothing to do with this since the only moral action is what benefits the people.

        Then spend your energy on stopping Russia. It has the same effect as Ukraine surrendering.

        Your arguments fall flat if you disagree to that.

          I don’t live in Russia, my country is not supporting Russia. From where I am, opposing Russia is equivalent to supporting escalation.

          If I did live in Russia, I’d be focusing my energy on Russia. If I was in Russia, opposing Ukraine would be equivalent to supporting escalation.

            So live in Russia, focus on Russia. Live anywhere else, focus on making Ukraine surrender. And you think that argument makes sense…?

            So you’re either a loser Russian retard sitting in a troll factory, or you are the dumbest person walking this earth. Which is it mate?
            I suspect the first one. If so: you better improve your writing before they send you to replace those that have been ripped to shreads already.
