Ukraine Turns to Domestic Resources for Winter Prep as EU Funds Stay Blocked – Zelensky
www.kyivpost.com
President Volodymyr Zelensky said Ukraine is preparing for the upcoming winter using domestic resources as European funding remains blocked amid continued Russian attacks on energy infrastructure.

Zelensky said the blockage of EU funds has significantly constrained Ukraine’s ability to rapidly reinforce energy infrastructure against further Russian attacks, increasing pressure on domestic resources ahead of the next winter season.

“Although it is difficult to meet all the needs through the blocking of European funds for Ukraine – those funds that were supposed to go to restoration, new protection for the winter, and to the development of alternative networks and generation,” Zelensky said in his address from western Ukraine’s Transcarpathia.

“Now we are going to the internal resource, but we are working with partners to unlock this key support package,” he added.

      Two days to Hungarian elections and then hopefully some weeks or a few months until the new government takes over.

          But he can’t fight both EU and Orban at once. If he is any smart he will unblock the funds for Ukraine(probably still without Hungary paying into them) in exchange for the funds EU was blocking Hungary from. And then use that money to oust the remnants of Orban’s establishment/buy Orban’s voters/whatever.
