"Ukraine's EU aspirations and the challenges posed by Orbán's influence"
TL;DR Summary
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba praised German Chancellor Olaf Scholz for his move during the EU summit, which allowed accession talks for Ukraine by suggesting that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban temporarily leave the room to avoid blocking the negotiations. Meanwhile, Ukraine reported one person killed in a Russian drone attack in the Odesa region, and UK intelligence stated that the 2024 Russian presidential election in the occupied regions of Ukraine will likely be rigged. Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims that Russia would attack a NATO country and emphasized that Moscow has no interest in fighting with NATO.
