Hungary has blocked the disbursement of the eighth instalment of the European Peace Facility (EPF) for arms to Ukraine. Hungary blocks Ukraine from getting EUR 500M for weapons The instalment to be disbursed is worth EUR 500 million. It was due to be paid next Monday. The Italian newspaper ANSA reports that Hungary did not approve the grant because it demanded guarantees that the EPF would not use the money exclusively to arm Kyiv, but would maintain its “global horizon” in the future.

The European Peace Facility was created by the European Council to help Member States better strengthen international security, Telex writes. In the Russia-Ukraine war, Member States are buying arms for Ukraine through the EPF.

An answer to Zelenskyy’s leaked plans? As we reported on Monday, according to a leaked US intelligence wiretap, Volodymyr Zelenskyy planned to destroy Hungarian industry. The Ukrainian president cited pro-Russianism as a reason. The statement was made in mid-February 2023. During a meeting with Deputy Prime Minister Yuliya Svyrydenko, Zelenskyy suggested “blowing up” the Druzhba pipeline, which also supplies Hungary. On the morning of Tuesday, Index published an energy analysis in this context. In the article, the experts interviewed stated that if the Ukrainian president decides to blow up the Druzhba pipeline, all oil supplies to Hungary would be diverted to the Adria oil pipeline, which would theoretically satisfy most of the Hungarian refinery demand.

The Hungarian government’s reaction The Hungarian government has told Index that it is outraged by Zelenskyy’s remarks. This is compounded by the fact that the OTP Group has been placed on the sanctions list. As they wrote: this is why they have blocked the use of the European Peace Facility. In its response to Index, the government also said that Raiffeisen has a much larger presence in Russia.

Zelensky is a terrorist that demands financial support or he will attack your supply lines.

Right, "supposed" plans, like we have contingency plans to invade Canada, Mexico, etc. I guess we should be charged with a crime for having plans. Okay

No, it is extortion from corrupt Zelensky.....give me money or I will blow up your infrastructure.

The same reason Biden blew up Nordstream 1 & 2.....to extort the EU into supporting the war for who gets to corrupt Ukraine next.

Not anywhere near the same. The circumstance is totally different and there is a strong possibility this would happen.

No it was a contingency plan if Hungarian troops invaded Ukraine. Hungary deployed troops on the Ukrainian border at the same time Russia deployed troops in Feb 2022.

Hungary admits it deployed "some military forces" along Ukraine's western border in February 2022

You .gov toads seem to be getting dumber by the day. This wasn't a "supposed" plan nor was it a "contingency" plan. It was a direct operational threat made by the Uke midget of a man that you willingly drop to your knees for on a daily basis (noticing your tagline).

If the pipeline blows up, it is an act of war against the Hungarian people.

2/3 Corsi: How Hillary Clinton Began the Ukraine War in 2013

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4153385/posts


3/3 The Durham report has shown, as others have said, that the FBI refused to investigate her crooked foundation and Clinton’s involvement in creating the controversy surrounding Trump’s collusion with Russia.

And as Yoland here at FR said:

The Hillary Clinton “Trump- Russia” hate hoax with the knowledge and encouragement of then President Obama, Vice President Biden, and the Democrat Party and corporate press has shaken our trust in our Government. The evil machinations of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, foreign intelligence agents is sickening.

Worst still, nobody has faced consequences for their lies and sabotage.
Why should anybody support the Biden Administration’s Ukraine’s war against Russia. Why support corruption? We have ample proof our Government lies.
I for one do not support World War 3.


The pro-Hillary crowd lashes out when this is all brought up.

It was a contingency plan when Hungary suddenly stationed its troops on the Ukrainian border in February 2022 at the same time Russia stationed its troops on Ukraine's eastern border.

You are an idiot.

Hungary put those troops there as part of their NATO agreement to defend NATO's borders from any possible Russian incursion.

You want to spin it as a threat against Ukraine? Wow.

You are a lost soul.
