The European Union is preparing a new plan for Ukraine: how to overcome Hungary's veto.

The President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, is actively working to support Ukraine's efforts to join the European Union, despite Hungary's opposition before the key EU leaders' summit in Copenhagen. According to Politico, Costa aims to gain the support of EU member states to open negotiations regarding Ukraine and Moldova's future membership.

Currently, the President of the European Council is directing efforts to counter Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, who is using his veto power to block Ukraine's accession to the EU. Costa proposed opening negotiation clusters with the consent of the majority of EU countries so that Ukraine and Moldova can begin necessary reforms to align with European standards. This will allow both states to move forward with their applications, even in the face of opposition from certain countries.

The EU Commissioner for Enlargement, Olivér Várhelyi, will visit Ukraine to finalize the legislative review phase necessary for further progress in the candidacy process. At the same time, an official representative of Hungary rejects the possibility of Ukraine joining the European Union, citing the views of Hungarian citizens.
