“Anyone who thinks they can undermine the values ​​of the EU, to which every member state is committed, by blocking its foreign and security policy will be defeated,” he told parliament in Berlin on Wednesday.

Earlier this week, Budapest refused an EU loan to Kyiv after partially unblocking Hungary’s financial support. The European Union blocked the funds due to concerns about the rule of law.

Support for Ukraine, including sanctions against Russia, will continue and increase as long as President Vladimir Putin continues his war against Kyiv, Scholz said.

“No one suffers as much as Ukrainians because of Russia’s war – and we are with them,” he said.
