Hungarian PM Vows Not to Let EU Make Mistake by Starting Accession Talks With Ukraine

 Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Wednesday that he will not allow the EU to make a mistake and start the accession negotiations with Ukraine, even if he was the only one of the 27 leaders of the member states.

"The European Union is going to make a terrible mistake, which must be prevented. Even if twenty-six want to commit it, and only we will be against it... In fact, Ukraine is not in a position to start accession negotiations, and because of the war, for geo-strategic, so to speak, political reasons, negotiations should still begin with it. In my opinion, this is a mistake," Orban told the Mandiner news portal.
