The recent Hungarian elections resulted in the defeat of long-serving Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, which EU expansion chief Marta Kos described as a significant win for Europe. She noted that this political shift could unlock €90 billion in loans for Ukraine, aiding its budget and potentially accelerating its accession to the European Union. Orbán had previously vetoed this funding due to disputes over a damaged oil pipeline with Ukraine. In related news, the UK government is set to announce additional military support for Ukraine, including a £752 million payment to assist in acquiring weaponry. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed concerns about US peace negotiators being preoccupied with the situation in Iran, which he believes hampers support for Ukraine. Additionally, Norway plans to strengthen its defense ties with Ukraine, including the production of drones, as both nations seek to learn from Ukraine's experiences in its ongoing conflict with Russia.
