The Spanish Prime Minister’s phone call with his Hungarian counterpart was one of several recent attempts to change Orbán’s mind on EU accession for Ukraine.

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has called the year-long funding block “financial blackmail.”
More support for Kyiv and the start of EU accession talks are both on the agenda of the upcoming EU summit in December.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has long described Hungary as the safest country in Europe for Jewish people.
