Hungary could risk being subject to the first step of losing their EU membership after their decision to block funding for Ukraine. Article 7 of the treaty could be invoked against Viktor Orbán’s government according to the Financial Times.
Without a stalwart ally on their side to block the censure, it could prove difficult to avoid the serious consequences. To discuss the EU's next moves and what Viktor Orban has up his sleeve, Bohdan Nahaylo, Editor-in-Chief of the Kyiv Post, joined TVP World.

Putin and Orban plot to divide up Ukraine between themselves
Unless their citizens are enjoying the slide backwards towards authoritarian rule, nepotism and thuggery under their current leaders, both Hungarians and Turks better build a united front install better leaders in the next elections.
Neither of these leaders embrace the values the EU was founded on, but the one of most danger is Orban who is clearly a putin crony abusing his country's voting rights to destabilize the EU. Enact Article 7(1) & (2) for Hungary ASAP. Turkey's EU application......keep the membership application pause button engaged until a less authoritarian (and seemingly also a Putin buddy) choice of leadership surfaces.
Both nations are probably also a present threat to NATO as they act as trojan horses doing Putins bidding. That security breech also needs attention.
Zelensky needs the money and weapons so they can win the war
Orban is totally on the wrong side of history.
Perfect analysis of the situation by Bohdan Nahaylo.
Turkey does not want Ukraine to join the EU - and if Turkey were allowed to join first they would align with Hungary to veto Ukraine's membership.
This is the most critical moment in the history of the EU to choose its friends and members carefully, will it have allies like Ukraine who bravely fight for freedom - or Russian puppets like Hungary and Turkey who will hold the other members to ransom.
Don't let Russian influence corrupt the EU as they have the United Nations which is now castrated by Putin.
Soon Orban and Erdogan will say that the sanctions against Russia must end. Their personal finances should be looked at closely.
