The Washington Post: The European Union is facing difficulties from the east, with leaders like Viktor Orban and Andrej Babis challenging support for Ukraine.

The refusal of Russia to stop the war in Ukraine is amplified by the anti-EU rhetoric of leaders like Viktor Orban, who intensifies his opposition to support for Ukraine ahead of elections. Other populist leaders, such as Andrej Babis from the Czech Republic, align with Orban and Fico, highlighting a concerning trend among some member states.
