1lurer.am The European Court of General Jurisdiction rejected Hungary's lawsuit against the EU decision regarding the use of income from frozen Russian assets for military assistance to Ukraine on Wednesday:
«The court dismisses the lawsuit on the grounds that the case is outside its jurisdiction», the press release posted on the court's website states. The decision can be appealed within two months and 10 days.
In May 2024, the EU Council approved a plan to use income from frozen Russian assets to support Ukraine. However, Hungary abstained, and when the committee of the European Peace Fund voted in June of the same year to allocate the first tranche, Budapest was not allowed to vote. As a result, Hungary appealed to the EU court, seeking to annul that decision, arguing that the voting procedure was violated.
