On December 14, at the EU summit, Ukraine received the long-awaited opening of negotiations on membership, which Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán threatened to block.

Even on the day of the summit, Orbán did not agree to give the green light to negotiations, and everything was decided at the last moment. According to Politico, Scholz asked Orbán to leave the hall during the vote. The Prime Minister of Hungary left, abstained from voting – and the opening of negotiations was approved without him.
