Hungary's PM Orban Criticizes Ukraine and Threatens Withdrawal of Support

TL;DR
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has stated that his government will not support Ukraine in any international issue until the language rights of ethnic Hungarians in Ukraine are restored. Orban criticized a 2017 law passed by Kyiv that restricts the use of minority languages in schools, arguing that it curbs the rights of ethnic Hungarians to use their native tongue, particularly in education. This statement comes as the European Union considers whether to begin discussions on Ukraine's potential inclusion in the bloc, a decision that requires unanimous backing from all 27 member countries. Orban's stance suggests that Kyiv may face obstacles in its path to EU integration.
