France and Germany are raising concerns about a proposal by the European Union’s diplomatic arm aimed at circumventing Hungary’s veto that is blocking more than €6 billion ($6.6 billion) in aid for Ukraine.

That would allow future funds to flow based on the consent of contributors rather than by unanimous support.
