A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
Hungary is set to receive €16.4 billion in previously frozen EU funds after a meeting between Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The funds had been blocked over rule of law concerns. The meeting also addressed Ukraine-related issues including EU membership negotiations, rights of the Hungarian minority in Ukraine, and a ban on Ukrainian agricultural produce. Magyar made a quip about returning more often if such funds are unlocked each time.
