EU unity on Ukraine accession falters

A Politico report reveals that the illusion of a united European front on Ukraine's EU accession has disappeared following the departure of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. EU leaders, meeting privately, have shown they find it difficult to reach an agreement on future actions regarding Kyiv's bid. One European diplomat explained that leaders who were opposed to Ukraine's accession can no longer hide behind Orban's position, forcing their own reservations into the open.
