EU leaders will face Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban at a crunch summit meeting in an attempt to overcome his veto on €50 billion in financial aid for Ukraine.
EU officials have been trying to negotiate a compromise with Hungary to get agreement on the four-year package for Ukraine as part of a broader overhaul of the bloc's budget.
Other leaders have rejected a proposal from Budapest that Mr Orban could approve the aid if he gets the chance to veto it again each year and are instead offering him only an annual debate on the issue.
If they cannot convince Mr Orban to drop his opposition, EU leaders have pledged to club together as 26 countries to keep aid flowing for Ukraine's government to allow it to continue paying salaries and services.
