Dispute About Money for Ukraine

210

The heads of the EU countries meet in Brussels. They talk about important things. It is about money for Ukraine. The country needs help in the war against Russia. Many countries want to give 50 billion Euros.

But Viktor Orb n says no. He is the boss of Hungary. He blocks the money for Ukraine. Orb n wants to set a condition. He wants to get oil again through a large pipe. The pipe is called Druschba-Pipeline. It brings oil from Russia to Hungary.

Friedrich Merz is the German Chancellor. He asks Orb n to change his mind. Merz says: We must work together. All countries must be reliable. Orb n stays firm. He says: His economy will fail without oil.

The EU countries also talk about other problems. There is war in the Middle East. The country Iran is involved. Energy prices rise again because of this. This worries people in Europe.

The banks also made a decision. The Central Bank keeps interest rates the same. This means: Loans will not get more expensive for now. But prices for goods keep going up. Experts watch the situation closely.
