Hungary, under the leadership of Viktor Orbán, intends to block Ukraine's EU accession negotiations and to form a skeptical alliance with the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

Viktor Orbán, the Prime Minister of Hungary, announces the intention to block the start of Ukraine's accession negotiations to the European Union, forming a skeptical alliance alongside the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Foreign Minister, Peter Szijjarto, stated that Budapest will prevent the opening of accession chapters as long as the current Ukrainian government remains in power, considering that Ukraine's accession could involve the EU in the regional conflict and divert European funds.

Orbán is counting on the reconstruction of the 'Visegrad 4' group to strengthen his influence in Brussels and collaborate with leaders from the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Although the formation of a firm political alliance is still uncertain, it could significantly affect the financial and military support provided to Ukraine by the EU.
