Orbán will not be convinced by arguments concerning Ukraine’s readiness to join the EU, since his opposition to Ukraine is based not on substantive issues, but on domestic political concerns. Clear and confident measures will therefore be needed to prevent Orbán from blocking Ukraine’s EU accession.
