Ukraine has enjoyed a major victory, with the EU's 27 member states voting at a recent meeting to launch accession talks between Ukraine and Moldova, bringing the two countries one step closer to joining the EU. However, this decision did not enjoy the support of all Member States, especially Hungary, which strongly opposed it. The Hungarian leadership categorically prevented the start of negotiations at this time, believing that Ukraine has problems with democracy and the rule of law. Nevertheless, Ukraine was ultimately victorious, and the EU, ignoring Hungary's opinion, decided to move forward.
This decision caused joy in Ukraine** and many European countries. Ukrainian Zelensky called the decision a "moment of victory", which he believes will bring many benefits to Ukraine and Europe as a whole. He believes that joining the EU will provide more military support for Ukraine, strengthening ***, and Moldova agrees that this is a historic moment that will push Europe to realize its own vision.
However, this decision was a big blow to Hungary. There are many differences and contradictions between Hungary and the EU. The EU is concerned about Hungary's problems in democracy and the rule of law, believing that its freedoms are restricted and the independence of the judiciary is threatened. In addition, Hungary** is firmly opposed to accepting refugees, which is contrary to the EU's position that it wants member states to share the pressure of migration. Hungary also expressed strong opposition to the EU's position on sanctions against Russia. These problems have strained relations between Hungary and the EU, which has repeatedly demanded reforms from Hungary, but Hungary** has refused to accept them.
At this meeting, EU countries ignored Hungary's objections and launched accession talks for Ukraine and Moldova. The Hungarian Prime Minister expressed strong dissatisfaction with this and left the meeting**. In the end, other countries voted in favor and started negotiations with only 26 votes, while Hungary abstained by default. This decision will undoubtedly further affect the relations between Hungary and the EU, leading to further contradictions between the two.
Looking back at Ukraine's path to the alliance, it was a long and arduous process. Ukraine** has been working towards joining the European Union since the Crimean crisis erupted in 2014. However, internal and external factors are constantly interfering with the course in Ukraine. Internally, Ukraine inevitably faces challenges in democracy-building, anti-corruption, and economic reform. Externally, Ukraine's relations with Russia are strained, and the war situation has put the country under great security threats. Ukraine** hopes to achieve stability and prosperity in the country by promoting reforms, strengthening military cooperation and close cooperation with European countries.
For Ukraine, joining the alliance means more opportunities and challenges. Joining the European Union will allow Ukraine to receive more economic assistance and technical support to help modernize its economy. In addition, joining the EU will also allow Ukraine to work more closely with other member states and enhance the country's international status and influence. However, joining the alliance also means that Ukraine needs to assume more responsibilities and obligations, and more in-depth reforms are needed. Ukraine** needs to strengthen the rule of law in the country, promote the democratic process, and solve the problem of economic restructuring in order to cope with changes and challenges.
All in all, Ukraine ushered in a major victory, launching accession negotiations. Despite the opposition of some countries, this decision will bring more opportunities and challenges to Ukraine. Ukraine** needs to continue to promote domestic reforms and strengthen cooperation with European countries in order to achieve national development and prosperity. At the same time, the contradictions between Hungary and the EU need to be properly resolved in order to maintain the unity and stability of the EU. It is only through cooperation and communication that we can jointly promote the development and progress of Europe.
