Bloomberg: Ukraine Risks Running Out of Money by June

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán blocked the EU's €90 billion loan package for Ukraine on March 19, stalling critical financial support as Kyiv faces a $52 billion external financing requirement for 2026.
Orbán linked his veto to the suspended Druzhba oil pipeline transit, while the European Commission stalled approval of Hungary's own €16 billion SAFE defense plan in response.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the move "blackmail," warning that without funds, "the army will face underfunding" for drone production and air defense systems critical to Ukraine's defense.
National Bank of Ukraine Governor Andriy Pyshnyi warned the institution might resume direct lending to the Finance Ministry if international funding fails to arrive; Kyiv has resources only until June.
European allies are considering €30 billion in military aid from Baltic and Northern European countries to bridge the gap if the main EU loan remains blocked beyond Hungary's April election.
