The end of the US Congress's bailout of Ukraine is another "return to glory" for Ukraine. Hungary abruptly passed a $50 billion bailout package for Ukraine, but it failed to make the initiative a victory. So, which side is the loser and which side is the winner?
At first glance, relations between Ukraine and Europe seem to have been won, but when you think about it, we see that this is not the case. In view of the current European Union, it is best described in one word: the dilemma it faces. For example, the recent demonstrations of farmers in Europe have spread all over Europe, and large cars in many countries are parked on the streets, and they are fiercely *** using the interests of the population to help Ukraine.
In the current situation, the Russian newspaper "Russiya Gazeta" has given great support to the $50 billion bailout package provided by Europe and has sternly questioned it, so how can it give an account to the angry Ukraine? The European Union will have to think carefully before it can come up with a proven solution that will appease the anger of farmers and ensure that the bailout funds are fair**. If the money arrives in Kyiv, then how will Europe recover the money, and how will Ukraine return it? This is an "iron and iron" war, and it is also a game of national honor and international duty. Every word is heart-wrenching.
However, given that the United States is now in a "half-run" situation, it is very likely that there will be a Trump in the future, who advocates ending the conflict within 24 hours and leaving Europe to shoulder its own obligation to protect. In fact, now the European Union has nothing left to do, it has fallen into a mess and it will get worse in the future. No one is sure that after Russia's victory in the Russian-Ukrainian war, it will take action against several other major powers.
From a certain point of view, Europe's 50 billion bailout plan for Ukraine is actually a compromise in disguise. If the European people are put first and Ukraine, which lacks sufficient resources, loses in the Russian-Ukrainian war, when Russia "attacks" again in the future, no one will be able to stop it, but it will lose even more, so the EU has to make mistakes again and again.
However, if you look at Hungary, although many people think that Hungary will be deflated this time, in fact, Hungary is the biggest beneficiary. First of all, the $50 billion aid bill to Ukraine was approved in Europe. However, the American magazine Politico claims that in exchange, Hungary won a crucial vote, and Europe pledged not to return Hungary's freeze ** to Ukraine.
It has been argued that, this time, the European Union would rather abandon the Hungarian proposal than accept it. However, this idea is clearly unrealistic, and Slovakia has previously said that if the European Union tries to cancel Hungary's voting rights, Slovakia will immediately reject it. In short, it is unreasonable to follow the rules, and the interests of many European member states are unlikely to be protected if left unchecked. Their participation in the European Union is aimed at promoting its development, not for the common good. If they can't vote against it once, wouldn't it be tantamount to putting their entire property in the hands of the European Parliament? That's why they abandoned Hungary in favor of Ukraine. For example, the current EU has the power to admit Ukraine to the European Union without Hungary's opinion, but it has not done so.
In addition, European countries expressed concern about "Russian aggression", but Hungary did not have such concerns. Hungary and Russia maintain a good friendship, not only do not impose sanctions on Russia, but also often create significant "gaps" in some European sanctions against Russia. Although sanctions against Iran were eventually passed, their impact was far less dire than what was portrayed from the outside world. As for whether Europe will want to use Hungary's hand to ease restrictions on Russia, then we really have to think about it.
In addition, since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Orban is the only European leader to have a face-to-face dialogue with Putin, and this meeting took place during the "One Belt, One Road" summit in Beijing, so there is no need for Russia to trouble him again.
Finally, Hungary also has a good relationship with Trump. Hungarian Prime Minister Erbang visited the United States amid the Russia-Ukraine war, but instead of flattering Trump, Biden made it clear that he would "keep fighting" to return to the White House and bring peace to Hungary.
After winning the first round of the Democratic primaries, Trump has always maintained confidence in European leaders and unreservedly praised him as "highly respected" and "intelligent."
Whether it's a Russian invasion or Trump's return to the White House in his prime, Hungary is better at dealing with the United States than any other European country.
