Orban named path for Ukraine

He advocates strategic partnership, not EU membership

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban emphasizes that the European Union should choose a path of strategic partnership with Ukraine rather than making a decision on its accession to the EU. According to Orban, Ukraine can develop together with the institution, but without mandatory joining the market.

Orban expressed the opinion, noting the need for balanced relations within the European Union, while leaving Ukraine's sovereignty free to choose further steps.

Context

In 2022, Orban already stated that Ukraine should not join the EU quickly, considering cooperation as an alternative to membership.

Summary:

Orban chose Ukraine's strategic partnership with the EU, denying authorization for membership.
