March 18, 2025 (EIRNS)—Hungary’s Minister for EU Affairs János Bóka told the General Affairs Council meeting in Brussels yesterday: “As it stands, Hungary is not in a position to support the part on the European Council conclusion on Ukraine in general, including the part that refers to Kaja Kallas’ initiative on Ukraine.” He specified that, in the draft of the European Council conclusions, the “part on Ukraine, in several points, is against the strategic interests and the strategic vision of Hungary on how to create a new European security architecture…. Hungary is not in a position to support the conclusions on Ukraine in its present form.” The quote is reported by Ukrainska Pravda.
Bóka added: “It is very unlikely that we will find a new 27 [-country] consensus on any text. I think it is most likely that ... the conclusions will only refer to a discussion on Ukraine, and there will be another text supported by a strong majority of EU member states.”
