Preparations in Motion for a Bilateral Meeting Between Hungary’s Orbán and Ukraine’s Zelensky
Conservative champion, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has been in the spotlight, at the receiving end of widespread criticism over his stance against Ukraine’s ascension to the European Union, as well as his blocking of further financial aid to Kiev.
Broadly speaking, Orbán doesn’t think Ukraine – who banned opposition parties and censored the media – is anywhere near ready to initiate membership talks.

There are also questions of infringement of rights for the Hungarian minorities in Ukraine, as well as Hungarian banks and companies hit by sanctions.
But if you read the MSM, you will think it’s all about the Hungarian leader ‘being Putin’s ally’ or else ‘blackmailing the EU to receive blocked funds’.
