Hungary has blocked €50bn ($55bn; £43bn) in EU aid for Ukraine hours after agreement was reached on starting membership talks.
"Summary of the nightshift: veto for the extra money to Ukraine," Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban posted on social media after talks in Brussels.
EU leaders said talks on aid for Ukraine would resume early next year.
Ukraine is critically dependant on EU and US funding as it continues to fight occupying Russian forces.

Poland has a very pro EU government led by Donald Tusk now.
Dream come true, hopefully they roll back all their bullshit right wing policies now.
They are certainly trying but PISs did a ton of damage to the democratic systems and also installed swathes of people in key positions that share their views.
