Hungary is "betraying" the EU by holding up a funding package for Ukraine and moving closer to Moscow, foreign affairs minister Helen McEntee has said.

EU foreign ministers in February failed to break the deadlock over the Hungarian government’s veto on crucial European policies relating to a €90bn funding for Ukraine for the next two years.
