"No Time for Games" Hungary's Orban Slammed For Threatening To Veto EU-Ukraine Accession Talks

Hungarian PM Viktor Orbán has threatened to wreck next week's EU summit by vetoing Ukraine accession talks. Orbán warned EU Council president Charles Michel that the summit would be a "failure" if he tried to garner consensus on Ukraine. The European Commission recommended opening the Ukraine talks in November, in what would mark a strategic leap forward for the EU. But in a letter, Orbán ridiculed Brussels, saying that the talks “mark the end of the EU's enlargement policy as an objective and merit-based instrument”. He also added a sub-veto on the EU's next long-term budget, which includes €50bn in aid to Ukraine. However, EU politicians have become used to the Hungarian’s pre-summit grandstanding, before usually seeing him cave in the end. Watch this video to know more.
