Hungary opposes negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the EU
In early November, the European Commission recommended initiating negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union. Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó immediately stated that his country opposes opening the dialogue.
Furthermore, Orbán called on EU officials not to raise the issue of Ukraine's accession to the bloc at the upcoming summit. Moreover, the Hungarian Prime Minister threatens to block the decision to start negotiations on Ukraine's European integration at the EU summit scheduled for December 14-15.
For more details on why Hungary is blocking the start of Ukraine's accession negotiations with the EU, see the material from RBC-Ukraine.
