Orban Holds EU Hostage Again -- Will Sanctions on Russia Collapse? - UATV English

Hungary’s latest veto is fueling frustration in Brussels, as European leaders explore ways to counter its repeated obstruction of Ukraine aid. Is the EU finally ready to strip Hungary of its voting rights?

Also in the video is a recap for you: Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban criticizes the upcoming EU summit and proposes a controversial peace deal with Russia to end the war in Ukraine. Orban’s support for Trump and his desire to lift sanctions has drawn backlash across Europe, with opposition parties accusing him of undermining European unity.

To move around Orban's obstinacy is invoke EU rule #7. They will do this every time if Orban insists on supporting and being Putin's EU puppet.

Wikipedia on Article 7

It was nice of you to point this out but a reference to it would have been helpful, also.
