Péter Magyar opposes fast track for Ukraine to EU membership

Hungary's next prime minister, Péter Magyar, says he opposes a so-called 'fast track' to EU membership for Ukraine, but is open to approving billions in EU aid.

At a press conference in Budapest on Monday, Magyar commented on Hungary's problematic relationship with war-torn neighboring Ukraine.

He said he opposes Ukraine quickly becoming a member of the EU as long as Russia's invasion continues.

At the press conference the day after Magyar's party, Tisza, won a landslide victory in the Hungarian election, Magyar hinted that he was open to allowing an EU aid loan of around 90 billion euros to Ukraine, a loan that outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had blocked.
