Hungary Opposes Ukraine EU Bid Citing War Risks to Europe

News summary

Hungary, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, opposes Ukraine’s fast-track accession to the European Union, arguing that integrating Ukraine into the EU equates to integrating confrontation with Russia and that the war must be resolved first. Hungary and Slovakia vetoed the EU’s 18th sanctions package targeting Russian oil imports, citing concerns over energy price increases and the ineffectiveness of punitive measures in securing peace. Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump indicated the possibility of sending additional Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, potentially increasing military support beyond the current $8 billion pledged by NATO allies, marking a significant shift from previous U.S. hesitancy. Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov warned that European arms supplies and mercenaries to Ukraine raise the risk of destabilization in Europe, criticizing efforts that prolong military conflict. These developments highlight ongoing tensions surrounding military aid, sanctions, and EU integration efforts amid the persistent Ukraine conflict.
