"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.Last week, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that Budapest proposed not to include in the agenda of the EU's December 14-15 summit the vote to launch accession talks with Ukraine as it was already clear that no consensus would be found. He added that Ukraine's membership could be discussed in five to 10 years from now and on a condition that a strategic partnership agreement is signed with the country.
