The European Union is planning to send a big military aid package to Ukraine. The package will be worth around €20 billion, which is about $20.9 billion.

**Hungary Opposes More Aid**
But Hungary, which is a member of the European Union, says it will oppose any more help for Ukraine. This might delay the delivery of the aid package. Germany also has elections soon, and this could affect when the aid arrives in Ukraine.
