Ukraine's accession to the European Union would cost the bloc 150 to 190 billion euros ($164 billion to $208 billion), and the member states would receive less money, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Wednesday, citing this as a reason for Hungary's opposition to the allocation of funds from the European budget to Kiev.
"It is certain that if Ukraine were admitted [to the EU], all the support that the countries of central Europe, including Hungary, have received so far, would be for them," Orban said in an interview with the TV2 broadcaster.
Orban added that it is still unknown where to get the money to support Ukraine because member states, including Hungary, will receive less budget money if 50 billion euros are allocated from the EU budget, which Budapest does not agree to.
