EU leaders are struggling to find ways to change Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's position against Brussels' support for Kiev, media reported on Monday, citing EU officials.
Last week, Hungary vetoed an increase in the EU budget for 2024-2027, including 50 billion euros ($54.56 billion) of macro-financial aid to Kiev. At the same time, Orban did not vote against launching EU accession talks with Ukraine, but warned that Budapest would have "75 more opportunities" to block this process.
EU member states are considering the possibility of stripping Hungary of its voting rights in order to conclude an agreement on allocating funds to Ukraine, The Financial Times has quoted European diplomats as saying.
According to the officials, the EU may apply Article 7 of the 2007 European Union Treaty, which allows for depriving a country of the right to vote due to a violation of European legislation.
