Germany anticipates that Hungary's recent election outcome will expedite the release of a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine, which had been previously blocked by Hungary over a pipeline dispute.
Following Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's electoral defeat, the European Union plans to approve a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, aiming to finalize the funding package after Orbán's loss.
Hungarian voters have chosen the pro-EU course of Peter Magyar, ending 16 years of rule by Russia-friendly Viktor Orban. Europe is now waiting to see if he can make good on his promises to repair ties with Brussels.
