European leaders have turned to issuing joint debt backed by the common budget to support Ukraine amidst the ongoing war, bypassing the need for unanimity among member states. This approach allows the EU to secure funding while excluding Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic. The EU is increasingly using strategies to circumvent vetoes from member states, particularly Hungary, which has frequently exercised its veto power. Experts warn that these tactics could lead to long-term challenges and undermine the EU's decision-making process.
