EU leaders are in Brussels for a summit and the focus is on Ukraine — and Viktor Orbán.
The leaders want to approve two key support measures for Kyiv: A €50 billion lifeline for Ukraine’s war-struck economy, and starting EU accession talks. But Orbán is blocking both. If they can’t strike a deal, this could be a long summit that, whisper it, could run into the weekend.
Also on the agenda will be the EU’s long-term budget, defense, Russia sanctions, the Middle East — and anything else the leaders decide to talk about.
