EU Punishes Hungary: High-Level Summit Cancelled Over Orban's Controversial Ukraine 'Peace Mission'

A high-level EU foreign affairs summit scheduled for August will be moved from Hungary to Brussels, the bloc’ top diplomat, Josep Borrell, confirmed on Monday.

Speaking at a press conference in the Belgian capital, Borrell said the bloc must “send a signal, even if it is a symbolic signal,” to punish Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban for his Ukraine “peace mission,” which EU officials have condemned as contrary to the bloc’s policies.
