Hungary’s Orbán says he won’t hesitate to slam the brakes on Ukraine’s EU membership

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said Friday his country will have plenty of opportunities in the future to interrupt Ukraine's process of joining the European Union, the day after the right-wing leader's stunning turnaround allowed an EU summit to move forward on bringing the war-torn country into the bloc. Orbán had spent weeks vigorously declaring that his country would not consent to the EU beginning talks with Ukraine on its eventual membership, arguing such a decision would be catastrophic and that Kyiv was unprepared to begin the process.
