EU would plunge deep into Russia’s sphere of influence—and not let PM Orbán stand in the way
The European Union appears intent on strutting onto the global stage as a superpower, extending its sway and absorbing even a nation that languished under another great power’s thumb just two decades ago. President Putin views Ukraine as his personal fiefdom, yet by accelerating its accession, the EU seems poised to seize the initiative. A firm plan is already taking shape in Brussels.
EU thrusts deep into Russia’s eastern domain
For over a decade, Ukraine has waged a literal life-or-death struggle to escape the Russian-dominated world and cleave to the West, above all the European Union. We have witnessed the Westernisation of Ukrainian identity—and its forging as a nation amid the inferno of Russian assaults.
The much-maligned European Union, whose member states are now even mocked by the US President, appears ready to act decisively on Ukraine’s integration. The task is formidable: ushering a vast, war-torn country—economically and socially backward—into a club where nations like Albania and Serbia queue patiently. Accession has proved arduous even for most post-1990 entrants.
Five-point plan for Ukraine’s integration
Politico, a Brussels-centred media outlet, detailed the scheme on Tuesday, drawing on unnamed EU and Ukrainian officials, plus diplomats from member states. The aim: prevent Ukraine from abandoning its long, and inevitably contentious, path to membership.
President Zelensky insists the key reforms could be wrapped up by 2027, rendering his country technically ready to join. “The goal is not to lower the bar,” one EU official stressed, but to accommodate nations stalled by war or member-state obstruction.
EU sends potent signal to other aspirants
Commission President von der Leyen has floated a “reverse accession”: membership with limited rights until criteria are met. EU leaders see this as a robust message to the likes of Moldova, Ukraine, and Albania. The Albanians, for instance, have already agreed to forgo an EU commissioner for now (each member supplies one to the college).
Supporters include France, Italy, and Poland. Germany demurs, doubting whether conditions could be enforced post-accession.
Orbán is the obstacle, but Brussels sees at least three ways to neutralise him
Politico identifies Hungary’s Viktor Orbán as the thorniest hurdle, with Brussels awaiting the outcome of Hungary’s elections. Polls suggest a strong chance for the Tisza party to oust Orbán after 16 years in power. EU sources tell Politico that Orbán’s stance is immutable: he deems Ukraine an enemy, views accession as a sovereignty issue, and harbours personal animus towards President Zelensky.
Should Orbán prevail, Brussels might enlist President Trump to twist his arm. Failing that, they could strip Hungary’s voting rights via Article 7 proceedings, for grave breaches of EU principles. No such move before the elections, though; sources say it would only bolster Orbán.
PM Orbán: the EU’s new plan is a declaration of war
Zelensky’s five-point plan is an open declaration of war on Hungary, the prime minister said on his Facebook page on Wednesday. Not allowing Ukrainians into the European Union is a matter of life and death, because if Ukraine were a member, the EU would already be at war, he added on a Szentendre campaign rally.
Hungary firmly rejects Ukraine’s accession to the European Union, the head of the Prime Minister’s Office, Gergely Gulyás, told the Truth Hour podcast on Wednesday, adding that new plans were being forged to replace the patriotic Hungarian government with a “Brussels government in Hungary”.
Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said Brussels would like to eliminate the patriotic Hungarian government because Orbán is in the way of creating the United States of Europe.
Balázs Orbán: Ukraine’s EU integration would mean austerity measures
Orbán Balázs, the Prime Minister’s political adviser and 2026 campaign chief, fired back at Politico. Brussels, he charged, is “shoving” Ukraine into the EU, with Péter Magyar playing accomplice. Ukraine’s membership would spell tax hikes and austerity for Hungary, to fund Kyiv’s state apparatus and war effort, divert funds due to Budapest, ruin Hungarian agriculture, and pose “the direct and immediate risk of the war engulfing us”.

On the surface it would seem possible to integrate The Ukraine into the EU, as not only is it already owned, run, and paid for by The West, under the current puppet government – it having been installed in the 2014 MI6-CIA-Mossad coup against the Ukraine’s legitimate president, Viktor Yanukovich, Russia has only objected to The Ukraine being in NATO … NOT the EU.
That said, the reailty is starkly different.
Why?
Because there is no sign that The West is ever going to behave decently towards Russia, and, that so, I see no signs that Russia is ever going to accept this, most especially not on their borders.
No … in order for the Ukraine to continue on as some part of The West, The West will have to find millions of men willing to soldier and die for this, not to mention all the money and arnaments.
I do not see this as anything realistic.
Therefore, the Ukraine will, either in 2026 or 2031, lapse back into being a part of what is has been for 1,000 years – Russia.
Do not like this reality? : go soldier in The Ukraine against Russia.
It will not work out as you wish, however, because, one day, you will die, and no one will take your place.
The Ukraine is Russia, just as the ccean is water.
Should Fidesz win the election the EU will put the screws to Orban’s head until that pustule pops. It will be hardship for Hungary as if Hungary has not had enough hardship already under Fidesz. What is quite enjoyable to see is these traitorous rats who sold Hungary to Putin now being cornered. Putin in turn is getting squeezed day by day as his oil profits are drying up, the country’s savings are spent, and the population is literally dying out on the battlefield in Ukraine as he throws infantry into the meat grinder in desperation achieving precious little. He is failing and so is his Hungarian c-sucker Orban.
