This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hungary’s Viktor Orbán and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg struck the deal on Wednesday after a day of “difficult” negotiations.
This will provide the predictability and accountability that Ukraine needs,” the NATO top boss told a room full of reporters in Budapest.
Stoltenberg said in exchange for Hungary’s non-participation, Orbán had guaranteed that the country would not “block other allies” with its veto powers from an agreement being reached to pledge financial support for Ukraine.
Orbán said 1,300 Hungarian soldiers are involved in NATO operations, and the country has complied with the alliance’s expectations of allocating 2% of GDP to its national military budget.
But, according to the Hungarian leader, the recent European elections over the weekend had reinforced his government’s “mandate” to “not participate in a war” outside of a NATO area of operation, he said.
At a summit in Washington next month, US President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts are expected to agree on a new system for providing Ukraine with more predictable and long-term security and military training assistance.
