Hungary has always been distrustful of Ukraine and has taken a firm stance against aid to Ukraine within the European Union. However, under collective pressure from the EU and NATO, Hungary finally capitulated and agreed to provide economic aid to Ukraine.
Ukraine has been seeking support from the international community since Hungary's aid ran aground at the EU summit last December because of its opposition to Ukrainian aid. On February 1 this year, an extraordinary EU summit was held in Brussels, Belgium, focusing on the topic of economic assistance to Ukraine. Just when Ukraine had high hopes for the EU, the Hungarian political chief suddenly announced his readiness to compromise and agreed to provide Ukraine with 50 billion euros from the bloc budget.
This unexpected change is likely to be the result of pressure exerted behind the back of the EU and NATO. According to the Financial Times, the EU is working on a "detailed plan" to respond to Hungary's refusal to compromise. The plan includes a number of sanctions aimed at reducing jobs, devaluing the currency, and striking at Hungary's advantage in attracting investment. A number of European countries have expressed support for this plan.
However, the attitude of the Hungarian side to this plan has changed. Hungary's EU minister said he had heard of the EU plan for the first time, suggesting that the EU was using money for political blackmail. The European Union's senior ** denied claims of the use of financial coercion, saying that the plan only provided background information and did not outline a specific implementation plan.
Hungary's eventual shift in attitude towards Ukraine can be attributed to collective pressure from the EU and NATO. Faced with the threat of the EU sanctions program, Hungary realizes that persistent opposition to Ukrainian aid will lead to economic and political adverse consequences.
According to reports, the EU sanctions plan includes reducing jobs in Hungary, devaluing its currency, and weakening its advantages in attracting investment. These measures will have a non-negligible impact on Hungary's economy and international image.
Hungary** realized that instead of taking these risks, it would be better to compromise and agree to provide economic assistance to Ukraine. This will not only avoid the negative impact of sanctions, but may also bring positive economic and political benefits to Hungary.
At the same time, Ukraine's appeal and support for the international community has also played a very important role. Ukraine actively seeks the support of various countries and has demonstrated its reform and development efforts to the EU and NATO. This positive performance has made the EU and NATO more inclined to support Ukraine and put pressure on Hungary.
Relations between Hungary and Ukraine are likely to develop further in the near future. The Hungarian Foreign Minister met with the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and the Head of the Office of the ** Office of Ukraine, preparing for the meeting of Orban and Zelensky.
The meeting laid the foundation for future contacts between the two sides and is expected to enhance mutual understanding and cooperation. Hungary, after the compromise, showed a willingness to improve and cooperate with Ukraine, which helped to improve relations and resolve differences.
In addition, Hungary has changed its course on Sweden's accession to NATO. After communication with the NATO Secretary General, Hungary expressed its readiness to support Sweden's accession to NATO. Sweden has not been able to join NATO due to opposition from Turkey and Hungary. And after Turkey passed Sweden's NATO accession bill, Hungary released the last obstacle to Sweden's accession.
Some experts believe that Hungary's change on the issue of Sweden's accession to NATO may be aimed at seeking benefits from it. Hungary could use Sweden's NATO membership leverage to claim its own interests and increase the bargaining chips in the deal. In addition, in the face of the passage of Turkey, Hungary did not need to act in isolation, so it chose to follow the trend and get some benefits for itself.
At the extraordinary summit of the European Union, Hungary finally succumbed to the collective pressure of the EU and NATO, agreeing to provide economic assistance to Ukraine. The EU sanctions program and Ukraine's aggressive efforts are key factors driving the change in attitude towards Hungary. In addition, the diplomatic meeting between Hungary and Ukraine has laid the groundwork for contacts between the two sides and is expected to improve relations between the two sides. At the same time, Hungary's change of attitude also provides an opportunity for Sweden to join NATO. Hungary's transformation has unleashed the last obstacle to Sweden's accession, creating an opportunity for Sweden to join NATO.
The development of this series of events reflects the complex interweaving and game of interests of all parties in international relations. The EU and NATO have played a role of pressure and influence behind the scenes, pushing for a shift in Hungary's attitude towards Ukraine. As a result, Ukraine has received economic assistance from the European Union and is expected to receive more support in the international arena. Hungary, on the other hand, has achieved some benefits for itself by turning around and at the same time reducing the risk of sanctions. These incidents have fully demonstrated the game and struggle of various forces in international relations, and also highlighted the complexity and sensitivity of various countries in safeguarding their own interests in diplomatic negotiations.
