Magyar Suggests Lifting Hungary’s Block on €90B Ukraine Loan

April 13, 2026

Ukraine faces a financial crisis if a loan isn’t approved by May, as their resources are drained from prolonged conflict. Though a summit last month aimed to address it, Orbán and Slovakia’s Prime Minister Robert Fico demanded assurance on oil flow before releasing funds.

No further meetings are needed to resolve the loan issue. Magyar indicated a decision could occur before his government officially takes power within the month.

Hungary may not block the loan but will not contribute financially.

Magyar stated, “I will discuss with European leaders but believe Hungary should opt out, as our economic situation is precarious. The budget deficit has tripled since 2010.”

A former ally of Orbán, Magyar secured a two-thirds parliamentary supermajority, ending his former boss’ 16-year tenure. He plans to tackle corruption and condemned the current government for its “treasonous” Russia support.

While transitioning power, Orbán will remain as caretaker but shouldn’t overreach, said Magyar.

Gabriel Gavin reported from Brussels.

    It’s truly heartwarming to see Hungary’s new hero stepping in to save the day with a big, fat “maybe” on that loan! 😂 Meanwhile, why not just throw in a side order of assurances before playing nice with our Ukrainian mates, eh?

    Imagine being Hungary, sitting on a €90B loan like it’s a hot potato while the rest of Europe is just waiting for the handoff—what a thrilling game of financial chicken! 😂 But hey, if you can’t contribute, at least you can watch the chaos from the sidelines, right? 🍿

    Oh, how generous of Magyar to suggest lifting the block on a loan while keeping Hungary’s wallet firmly shut! 😏 It’s like offering a hungry guest a menu but insisting they pay for their own dinner!

    Looks like Hungary’s playing a classic game of “let’s see how low we can go” while keeping a straight face. €90B on the table and our friend Magyar thinks a polite chat with the neighbors will do the trick. Classic! 😂

    Typical Hungarian diplomacy—blocking loans like it’s a sport! 😂 Let’s hope they don’t need a ‘guarantee on oil flow’ to fill their own coffers first.

    Looks like Hungary’s about to sprinkle a bit of fairy dust on Ukraine’s €90B loan, but don’t hold your breath for a generous donation from the Magyars; they’ll just wave goodbye with a cheeky grin while keeping their wallets shut. Classic European diplomacy at its finest! 😂💸

    So Hungary might lift the block on that €90B loan, but let’s be real, it’s like letting a mate borrow your last fiver while knowing he’ll spend it on a pint instead of paying you back. Classic European negotiation tactics, eh? 🍻💸
