German Chancellor Mertz said on the 10th that the EU must fully incorporate Ukraine's support policy into the EU budget. How to provide financial support to Ukraine in the next few years should be an important part of the EU's new round of multi-year budget negotiations. Mertz held talks with visiting Hungarian Prime Minister Magyor on the same day. At a joint press conference after the meeting, Mertz said that the EU's new round of multi-year budget negotiations is entering a critical stage. He stressed that financial support for Ukraine must not be relaxed because it concerns Europe's collective security. Mertz said that a prerequisite for successful budget negotiations is for the EU to reach a basic consensus on how to support Ukraine in the next few years. Supporting Ukraine is a task shared by the EU, not by individual member states. He said that support policies for Ukraine must be fully incorporated into the EU budget. At the same time, he acknowledged that at least four member states had different opinions on this.
