European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen accused Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban of "not honoring his word" after EU leaders failed to break the deadlock over a €90 billion ($103 billion) loan to Ukraine. Orban, backed by Slovakia, is refusing to unlock the aid until Hungary regains access to Russian oil. Several leaders say Orban's stance amounts to a breach of an agreement among EU nations in December. Bloomberg's Oliver Crook reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
