Hungary can't block it since they weren't involved:

" EU lawyers drafted a workaround using another obscure clause (Article 20 of the Treaty of the European Union) that allows some form of “enhanced co-operation” among a coalition of willing member states. In practice, only 24 member states will contribute to financing the loan for Ukraine–Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia are out of the scheme."

He does seem at least willing to cooperate with the EU and not block things like this unless it's actually, genuinely in Hungary's interest from a traditional conservative POV. Not great, but sane, at the very least.
