Brussels – There is an understanding. Surprisingly, when a day of long stalemates was feared, the president of the European Council, Charles Michel<\/strong>, announced this morning (Feb. 1) with a post<\/a> on X that “all 27 leaders have agreedon an additional support package of 50 billion euros for Ukraine within the EU budget<\/strong>.” An agreement that thus makes it possible to achieve the much-desired solution to Twenty-seven<\/a> and overcome the resistance of the Hungarian premier, Viktor Orb\u00e1n<\/strong>, to financial support for Kiev within the mid-term review of the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027 (MFF).<\/p>\n

“This guarantees Ukraine steady, long-term and predictable funding<\/strong>,” the European Council number one reminded, making it clear that “the EU is taking leadership and responsibility for support to Ukraine, we know what is at stake.” Making decisive in averting the “Twenty-six” option were the consultations<\/a> before the start of the extraordinary summit between the President of the European Council, Charles Michel<\/strong>, of the EU Commission, Ursula von der Leyen<\/strong>, the Italian premier, Giorgia Meloni<\/strong>, the French president, Emmanuel Macron<\/strong>, the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz<\/strong>, and Orb\u00e1n himself. A necessary mediation in order not to exasperate positions, in what – as we learn from qualified sources – is considered a decisive and crossroads moment to define the very future of the Union. “We have already had difficult councils, but we have always found a solution,our only goal is a solution in Twenty-seven<\/strong>,” Belgian Prime Minister and rotating president of the EU Council, Alexander De Croo<\/strong>, explained clearly.<\/p>\n
