EU's Antonio Costa warns as Ukrainian president Zelensky targets Orban over accession

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has launched a fiery attack on Hungary’s Viktor Orban, accusing him of “blocking” Kyiv’s path to European Union membership. Speaking in Uzhhorod, Zelensky insisted Ukraine has fulfilled every EU recommendation, while Washington and President Trump voiced support for Ukraine’s accession. EU Council President Antonio Costa admitted peace must come first but warned Hungary cannot stall progress forever. With Moscow signaling no objection to EU membership, the real battle is now inside Europe.
