Hungary’s Orban to Clear Kyiv Loan Once Oil Flows, Magyar Says

Hungary’s incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar said he expects outgoing premier Viktor Orban to lift his veto on a €90 billion ($106 billion) European Union loan to Ukraine once oil flows through a key pipeline are restored.

Magyar’s comments in an interview for the state television on Wednesday came after he said earlier this week that his country won’t stand in the way of Kyiv obtaining the assistance. Hungary would still maintain its opt-out from participating in the loan financially, he said.
