In a significant development for Ukraine's bid to join the European Union, Hungary's new government has lifted the veto imposed by its predecessor on Kyiv's membership bid. The move, announced on Wednesday, paves the way for Ukraine to take a major step forward in its quest for EU membership. Hungary's previous government had been a major obstacle to Ukraine's bid, citing concerns over the potential impact on the country's ethnic Hungarian minority. With the veto lifted, Ukraine is now expected to move closer to securing the support of all 27 EU member states, a crucial hurdle in its path to EU membership.
