The interview with Balazs Orban: A financial expert analyzes the impact of the EU summit agreement on Hungary's financial status.

According to a report by www.tagesschau.de,

Hungarian Prime Minister Orban's political advisor, Balazs Orban, reported in an interview with tagesschau.de that the European Commission has set seven conditions for the start of accession negotiations with Ukraine. He argues that, according to the commission, Ukraine is not complying with all of its recommendations. Nevertheless, 26 member states wanted to start accession talks. Orban announces that he will set up further blockades. He also discussed the bilateral discussions with the German Chancellor and emphasized that, in his view, a change to the EU budget is not necessary. Instead, member states could provide additional financial support to Ukraine outside the budget.

Given these blockages and political differences, this could lead to a delay in EU accession talks with Ukraine. In addition, it could lead to tensions between member states and a possible delay or blocking of financial aid from the EU budget to countries such as Hungary. This could have implications for stability and growth in the region, particularly when it comes to support for Ukraine amid political tensions with Russia.

It remains to be seen how discussions and negotiations between member states will develop, but the current differences could potentially cause wider political and financial instability in the EU.
