Orbán Declares War on EU and Ukraine Amid Election Fears
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has declared that Brussels and Kyiv have initiated a “war” against Hungary. This assertion follows the publication of an article by Politico detailing proposed plans for Ukraine’s “accession in advance” to the EU, bypassing standard procedures and outlining strategies to circumvent Hungary’s veto power. Orbán characterized these proposals as a “latest war plan” aimed at undermining Hungarian sovereignty and dictating the country’s political direction, urging citizens to prevent this through the upcoming April elections. The article itself suggests partial EU membership for Ukraine by 2027 and considers scenarios where Hungary’s opposition to Ukraine’s integration is overcome, including the possibility of a change in Hungarian government.
