Ukraine War
Dail Éireann — 2024-01-25
============================================================

Brendan Howlin (LAB), Wexford

It is crystal clear that we cannot simply have a situation where one country, Hungary with Viktor Orbán, is simply blackmailing the rest of the European Union first for his own ends in terms of his unhidden support for Putin, but also to leverage other matters within the European Union so that there would be no sanctions against Hungary on the rule of law issues.
What specifically will happen if the Orbán blackmail continues? Particularly given the situation in Congress in United States it is not sustainable for Ukraine to continue without the promised multi-annual funding which is needed for its very survival.
