We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Hungary faces renewed pressure to drop its opposition to Kyiv’s accession bid.

Brussels officials are pushing to begin formal negotiations over Ukraine joining the European Union as early as next month, according to people familiar with the matter. 

Behind the scenes, diplomats from the EU and from Kyiv are working intensively to try to persuade the Hungarian government to give its approval to opening talks on Ukraine’s accession. 

Five diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the aim is to kickstart the formal negotiations as soon as June 25.

While they're at it, they should expel Hungary.

Orban's fascist regime and its love for Putin and the Trump cult is antithetical to the principles of peace and international cooperation that the EU is supposed to be about.

Throw in Turkey too.

How Turkey became Putin’s ‘pit stop’ for selling camouflaged fuel to the EU

Moscow bagged €3 billion through a sanctions loophole that allows Turkey to relabel Russian oil and ship it to the EU.

Good thing Turkey isn't part of the EU.

Correct. While there is little to no progress on it, officially I believe they are still trying to be. That said, I was definitely thinking about NATO when I wrote that. Apologies for the mistake.
