"Germany's Scholz Successfully Removes Orban, Paving the Way for Ukraine's Membership Talks"
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz convinced Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Órban to temporarily leave the Council room during discussions on Ukraine, allowing the remaining 26 leaders to make a unanimous decision. Scholz emphasized that this cannot become a regular practice and should only be used in exceptional cases. European leaders expressed confidence in reaching consensus in the future, particularly regarding providing additional aid to Ukraine. The decision to support the European path for Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine was seen as a powerful political message and a message of hope.
