The media reported on the EU's fear of the alliance of Romania and Hungary against aid to Ukraine

Officials in the European Union (EU) are concerned that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, as well as the leader of the Romanian nationalist Alliance for the Unification of Romanians (AUR) party, George Simion, who is leading in the first round of the Romanian presidential election, may unite to prevent the EU from continuing to support Ukraine.. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on May 15.

"European officials are extremely concerned that the 38-year-old rebel (Simion. — Ed.) will join <...> Viktor Orban and Robert Fico in an attempt to disrupt aid to Ukraine at a time when the EU wants to increase pressure on Russia," the article says.

It is indicated that if Romania supports the positions of Hungary and Slovakia on Kiev, it will be a "bitter blow" for Europe. Under the previous government, Bucharest was considered a "staunch supporter of the EU and NATO," notesГазета.Ru ".

"The Black Sea country with a population of 19 million people has so far been a staunch supporter of the EU and the NATO alliance. As for Simion, there are concerns that he could rock the boat quickly," Politico noted.

The delivery did not work: the EP considers it necessary to stop military aid to Ukraine

Why are many in the European Union not interested in direct dialogue with Russia

Earlier in the day, Orban called for the rejection of the accelerated admission of Ukraine to the EU proposed by the European Commission (EC), citing the irrevocability of this process. Prior to that, on April 25, the politician noted that the EU countries were not seeking to end the conflict in Ukraine, despite the peaceful settlement initiatives of the United States. According to Orban, the Hungarian opposition in Brussels wants Budapest to contribute $125 million for military aid to Kiev, demonstrating an obvious "serious military psychosis."

On May 12, Simion, in turn, warned that he was seeking an alliance with Orban. The politician called himself a "Eurorealist" and stressed that he was not a Eurosceptic.
