European Union (EU) leaders have endorsed military support for Ukraine—but without the support of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, reports Politico.

At an emergency summit Thursday in Brussels, Orban vetoed an EU-wide push to replace American military aid. US President Donald Trump had announced the freezing of US military assistance to Kyiv on Monday

"Achieving ‘peace through strength’ requires Ukraine to be in the strongest possible position, with Ukraine’s own robust military and defense capabilities as an essential component," the joint statement said. "The European Union remains committed, in coordination with like-minded partners and allies, to providing enhanced political, financial, economic, humanitarian, military and diplomatic support to Ukraine and its people."

The text also vows to step up pressure on Russia by imposing further sanctions and better enforcing existing ones "in order to weaken its ability to continue waging its war of aggression.”

Among the measures noted, there was a program called ReArm Europe Plan, which could mobilize around 800 billion euros to ensure the security and stability of Europe, DW reports.

The first part of this plan concerns permitting the use of state funding for defense at the national level. This will enable EU member states to significantly increase their defense spending without having to resort to excessive deficit procedures.

Second, the EU member states will receive loans of 150 billion euros for defense investments. This will help member states conduct joint procurement and increase assistance to Ukraine.

And third, the aforesaid program plans to use the EU budget to direct more funds to defense-related investments.
