The Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister claims that the Hungarian veto on Ukraine’s accession to the EU “will be the result of the irresponsibility of other EU countries.”
– If Hungary blocks Ukraine’s accession to the EU during the December summit, it will be the result of the irresponsibility of the other member states – says Olga Stefaniszyna, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, quoted by The Guardian. – The idea is to talk to each other, convince each other and help those who still have doubts or try to veto the future of Europe, talk to them and take responsibility for this veto, Stefaniszyna said.
– Because if we talk about a one-country veto on December 15, it will not be a one-country veto. This would be the irresponsibility of the rest: those who do not build this consensus, who do not make an effort to focus on a broader perspective on the future of Europe. So I think we all understand what I’m talking about and that’s how we interpret it, that’s how we treat it, the Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister added.
Charles Michel, President of the European Council, will arrive in Budapest on November 27 for bilateral talks with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in preparation for the European Council meeting.
“Strategic Discussion”. Orban wrote a letter to the head of the European Council
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has indicated in a letter to European Council President Charles Michel that no decision on opening accession negotiations, financial support to Ukraine or further sanctions against Russia is possible until the leaders of the Member States of the European Union agree to a ‘strategic discussion’.
“Can we take for granted the continued support of the United States? How can we imagine the European security architecture after the war?” – asked the Hungarian politician. “The European Council should take stock of the implementation and effectiveness of our current policies towards Ukraine, including various aid programs,” Viktor Orbán wrote in a letter quoted by Politico on Wednesday.
“The European Council will not be able to take major decisions on proposed security guarantees or additional financial support for Ukraine, support a further strengthening of the EU sanctions regime or agree on the future of the enlargement process unless a consensus is reached about our future strategy for Ukraine,” the Prime Minister said.
