"Orban's forthcoming departure opens the way for the bloc to release a 90-billion-euro ($106bn) loan to Ukraine and levy sanctions on violent Israeli settlers, officials said on Monday."
"The last element needed to allow for the disbursement of the 90-billion-euro loan for Ukraine will be on the agenda, said a spokesperson cited by the AFP news agency."
"Magyar has said that he is ready to work constructively with the EU. He called on Monday for the reopening of Druzhba."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in an interview broadcast on the same day that the pipeline would be restored to operation by the end of April."
The ousting of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban allows the European Union to progress on significant foreign policy matters, particularly concerning Ukraine and Israel. Orban's government had previously obstructed a 90-billion-euro loan to Ukraine, essential for its defense against Russia. With Orban's departure, the EU can now move forward with the loan and impose sanctions on violent Israeli settlers. Hungary's new leader, Peter Magyar, is expected to collaborate constructively with the EU, facilitating the reopening of the Druzhba pipeline and expediting the loan process.
