EU scales back Ukraine's accession timetable due to Hungarian resistance

The EU has adjusted its strategy for Ukraine's potential membership, now planning to focus on just two of five planned accession clusters before the summer break due to Hungary's objections. This shift highlights Hungary's influence in the EU's decision-making process, suggesting that internal divisions can delay progress on key initiatives. This delay matters as it impacts Ukraine's hopes for closer integration with the EU, potentially affecting its stability and reform efforts amidst ongoing conflict.
