This is the best summary I could come up with:
Viktor Orban said he and his government would “resist” EU talks scheduled for mid-December on whether to formally extend an invitation to Kyiv to join the bloc.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said Ukraine is "light years away" from joining the EU.
The comments came as he was reelected as the president of the right-wing nationalist Fidesz party for the 11th consecutive time in Budapest on Saturday.
Unanimity among all member states is required to admit a new country into the EU, giving Orban a powerful veto.
The EU's executive earlier this month recommended the beginning of accession talks with Ukraine, saying that its government “has shown a remarkable level of institutional strength, determination and ability to function.”
Billions in funding have been withheld from Budapest over concerns that the government has failed to uphold rule-of-law and human rights standards.
