Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has blocked EU aid to Ukraine, with EU leaders accusing him of hijacking critical assistance to influence a domestic election next month. The move undermines EU decision-making and raises geopolitical risk, potentially delaying military and financial support to Ukraine and pressuring defense and European assets. Expect elevated political uncertainty and a risk-off reaction in short term, with implications for EU cohesion and sanctions enforcement.
