Budapest: On March 22, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban asked the European Commission to disburse all EU funds allocated to the country under the ‘Recovery and Resilience Facility’ to help handle the Ukrainian refugee crisis, his press chief said.
Orban stated that Hungary had received over 450,000 refugees from Ukraine so far and he cited “shared responsibility” amid the crisis. “To this end, Hungary only asks for immediate and effective access to EU funds allocated to it, and to be able to use them in a flexible way for the purposes best suited to dealing with the crisis,” Orban wrote in the letter.
