European leaders are meeting in Brussels to address Hungary\'s veto on a 50 billion aid package for Ukraine. Hungary\'s Prime Minister Viktor Orban vetoed the package last December, partly due to the EU\'s withholding of funds for Hungary. Leaders are growing impatient with Hungary\'s stance, which is preventing funding from reaching Ukraine. There have been rumors of potential punitive action by the EU, including hitting Hungary\'s economy. Despite his close alliance with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Orban has suggested he may lift the veto if certain conditions are met.
