Ukraine’s deputy PM says his country can work through the benchmarks for accession “without waiting for the Hungarians” to approve EU membership.

The European Commission seeks to reduce unanimity in the intermediate stages of the accession process.

Zelensky insists Kyiv’s allies must be involved “at every stage” of peace negotiations.

While Ukraine receives unprecedented support and political backing from the EU, Hungary remains under sanctions.

The Council of Europe also condemned Ukraine for brutality during conscription after a Hungarian citizen was beaten to death by draft officers.
Brussels is reportedly considering an “alternative” mechanism aimed at sidelining vetoes like Hungary’s.
Hungary’s leader warns Brussels against turning a bad deal into policy.
The Hungarian PM responded on X, reminding the Ukrainian leader that what the Hungarians think “will not be decided by the president in Kyiv.”
