Orbán's Opposition to Ukraine's EU Application Sparks Tensions at NATO Summit

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán opposes Ukraine's admission to the EU, calling it "corrupt" and stating that it is not ready to join the bloc. Orbán's opposition looms over the upcoming EU summit, where leaders will decide on starting accession negotiations with Ukraine and releasing aid funds. Despite Hungary's own corruption concerns, Orbán argues that Ukraine's corruption levels are a major obstacle. He proposes a strategic partnership treaty instead of EU membership. French President Emmanuel Macron hosted Orbán for a dinner to discuss the issue, but Orbán remains firm in his stance.
