During the discussion of the draft resolution of the European Council on 2021 March, representatives of Hungary again insisted on reducing the section on Ukraine by removing references to continued military support for Ukraine and peace from a position of strength.
Source European diplomat on condition of anonymity, as reported by European Pravda Details The EU diplomat stressed that Hungary, same as during the preparation of the resolution of the extraordinary EU security summit on 6 March, demands that they be short and not mention the EUs military support for Ukraine.
Hungary is asking for a very short text on Ukraine, which would only indicate the EUs support for ongoing efforts to establish peace, the source told European Pravda.
But other states, on the contrary, want a strong text that emphasises the EUs continued support for Ukraine, including military support, and the need to establish peace from a position of strength, he added.
The draft conclusions of the European Council will be discussed by the European Affairs Ministers of the EU member states at a meeting of the EUs General Affairs Council on Tuesday 18 March.
The document will be approved by the leaders of the EU member states at a meeting of the European Council on 2021 March.
Background Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn refused to sign the resolution of the 6 March extraordinary European Council meeting on support for Ukraine, and as a result, 26 of the 27 EU states agreed on the text.
