The Hungarian government Tuesday blocked agreement on an €18 billion aid package for Ukraine, forcing the European Commission and the other EU countries to seek an alternative solution to ensure Kyiv gets much-needed funds in January.The Commission will look at how to "provide the necessary solution to Ukraine already as of January," EU Budget Commissioner Johannes Hahn said during a public session of the bloc's finance ministers.Tuesday's Hungarian veto meant that decisions on all other files on the finance ministers' agenda — a minimum corporate tax rate, which Budapest is also blocking, the Hungarian recovery plan and connected €5.8 billion in grants, and the decision to freeze €7.5 billion of EU funds for Hungary over corruption issues — were postponed."We were not able to adopt the package as a whole but we will not be discouraged," Czech finance minister Zbyněk Stanjura said in his function of chair of the gathering of finance ministers.EU governments have until December 19 to take a position on freezing EU funds for Hungary."
