Trump convinced Orban not to block Ukraine’s accession to EU - Politico

US President Donald Trump was able to convince Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban to abandon his blockade of negotiations on Ukraine's accession to the European Union and change his position on the matter, Politico writes about this, citing diplomatic sources.

"US President Donald Trump has convinced Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who opposes Ukraine's membership in the EU but has expressed willingness to support Moldova's membership, to withdraw his objections to Kyiv's accession to the bloc," the article reads.

The article states that decisions could be made in "the coming days or weeks." Two diplomats, commenting to Politico, also expressed hope that in the coming months, given the pressure on Budapest, it will be possible to break the deadlock regarding Ukraine's accession.
