Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has publicly opposed Ukraine's accession to the European Union, warning that it poses a direct threat to Hungary. Orbán described Ukraine as a bankrupt and dysfunctional country both before and after the ongoing conflict, emphasizing that its EU membership would drag Hungary into the war and expose the country to financial and security risks. Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó echoed these concerns, stating that Ukraine is not prepared in any aspect to join the EU. Orbán also accused Ukraine of launching a campaign against Hungary and spreading pro-war propaganda funded by foreign money within Hungary.

He expressed fears that Hungary could become a conduit for funneling money to Ukraine, that Hungarian farmers could be driven to ruin, and that the country’s status as one of the safest in Europe could be compromised by organized crime. Orbán criticized the EU's migration policies and rejected the idea that Hungary should align with the EU's stance on Ukraine. Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that Poland has no intention of sending troops to Ukraine, describing this as a final decision. Tusk also indicated that Ukraine will lose its visa-free trade with the EU starting June 5, citing concerns about protecting Polish farmers despite Poland's support for Ukraine.
